The wondrous father-son duo return

The father-son duo of Ferdous Wahid and Habib Wahid, will reunite on-screen in a special programme titled "Chena Mukh Dukh Shukh", airing today at 5:30pm on Channel i.

This marks their first joint appearance on a show in over 18 years. Back in 2006, Habib Wahid made his debut on Channel i's "Neelanjana", where he joined as a guest of his father, Ferdous Wahid.

Ferdous Wahid said, "I have hosted shows before, but this time I took on full-fledged hosting. Successful celebrities will be appearing on this show."

"There was a request for Habib Wahid to be the guest in the very first episode. While doing that, I realised there's room to conduct the show spontaneously," he added.

Besides Habib, other guests appearances in it include Haider Hossain, Agun, Humaira Bashir, Tipu from the band Obscure, Fazal from the band Nova, Mezbah from the band Different Touch, Milton Khondokar, Kuddus Boyati, and many more.

Ferdous Wahid said, "What I find enjoyable is that I'm getting to know, understand, and discover the cultural sphere in a new way—things I hadn't known before. This show has given me the opportunity to explore that."

Music director and singer Habib Wahid said, "It's true that I've been a guest on shows hosted by my father before. But this time, what I enjoyed more than the face-to-face interaction was his style of hosting."

"I felt that he's actually quite good at hosting. I don't watch much television, but from what I could gather, there's a uniqueness in his presentation style that I haven't seen in other hosts," he added.

Habib Wahid added, "I believe the audience will enjoy the show. The questions ranged from an artiste's joys and sorrows, and I found them very interesting. Viewers will definitely appreciate it. I've grown up watching my father since childhood, so answering the questions didn't feel difficult to me."

"It's not just about being father and son—we've been in the same profession for a long time. We've done many shows together. I didn't see it as something difficult; in fact, it felt easier to me. Answering questions from someone familiar feels more natural, comfortable, and even more interesting than answering a stranger," he added.
