Popular adhunik singer Ankhi Alamgir is recognised for her stage performances both on a national and an international level. The artiste, who celebrates her birthday today, has been singing for over a decade and her brilliant voice has taken her to great heights. She opens up about her birthday plans, her views on the music industry and more in a recent chat with The Daily Star.

Wishing you a very happy birthday. How are you going to celebrate the day?

Well, the celebrations started off at midnight with my family. I also hope to have a small party with my close friends and relatives today. Generally, I am busy with different shows or recordings most of the time. But fortunately, this year, I have some free time on my birthday.

What are some of your most favourite songs to perform on the stage?

It depends on the kind of audience I am performing for in that moment. Some of my songs such as Bisher Kata and Jol Pore Pata Nore receive a good reaction from the crowds. I also like to perform slow and melodious numbers.

What can you tell us about your upcoming projects?

I have just completed a song which will be released under the banner of Dhruba Music Station soon.  We have shot the music video for it as well, but I cannot reveal any more details as of now.  

What are your views on our music industry at the moment?

I am delighted to see that the current generation of musicians are full of talent and potential. However, I believe that there is a lack of proper guidance for them.
