In a conversation with The Daily Star, she shared her special moment of celebration.

Congratulations, you are officially a doctor now. Share your thoughts with us.

Thank you so much! This cannot be expressed in just a few words. Before the results were published, I was nervous, yet confident, now that I know I have passed, it feels great! I feel that it is the outcome of all the hard work of my entire student life.

Did you want to become a doctor since childhood?

Yes, I have always wanted to be known as Dr Oyshee. I was always a good student, besides being passionate about music.

How do you maintain a balance between music and studies?

I am grateful to have a supportive family. In addition, my peers are very supportive. Although it is tough to balance between study and music -- since I love doing both, so I try to keep it as organised as I can.

What are your further plans on education?

I have to complete my internship first. After that, I want to pursue further education in Medicine.

You won the National Film Award for your excellent performance in the film 'Maya: The Lost Mother' (2019). What are your upcoming projects?

I am working on new projects for my YouTube channel Oyshee Express, on a regular basis. Soon, I will be lending my voice to the film 'Talash' directed by Saikat Nasir.
