Zayed Khan receives ‘Humanitarian’ award in the US

Two organisations named the "Institute of Public Policy and Diplomacy Research" and "Humanitarian Focus Foundation" have jointly awarded 40 people from all over the world, to people who work for harmony, peace and sustainable development in their respective places, with the "The Humanitarian Leadership Award".

Bangladeshi actor Zayed Khan is one of the recipients to get this honour. The news was shared by the actor himself from his verified Facebook page. The award was presented yesterday (July 20), at a special reception in the Delegates Dining Room at United Nations (UN) Headquarters. However, the award has nothing to do with the United Nations itself.

Zayed Khan shared pictures along with short message, "Alhamdulillah. It is a great honour for me and also for Bangladesh. Keep me in your prayers."

The actor stated that the organisation had selected him for his humane activities during Covid-19, when he worked for the betterment of the film fraternity with various food drives for struggling artistes.

As soon as he shared this post, many could not believe their eyes. Even his colleague, veteran actor Misha Sawdagar, wrote, "Who gave this award, for what, and why, the nation wants to know!"

Zayed Khan is currently at the US, and he will return to Dhaka soon.
