Amidst the casual setting, the talented artistes engaged in jovial conversations, sharing anecdotes about their ongoing projects and updates from their personal lives. Laughter and camaraderie were the order of the day, as they made the most of this special gathering.

The highlight of the evening was a mesmerising duet performance by Masha Islam and Ruslan Rehman, who graced the audience with their rendition of "Porojibi Shohorer Gaan" from the web-series "Ladies & Gentlemen".

The musical serenading continued to flow as Khayam Sanu Sandhi took the stage to present an original production, followed by a delightful performance from Tasnia Farin, who sang "Imagine" by John Lennon, with Sandhi accompanying her on the guitar.
