Many famous faces of Bangladesh films like actor Alamgir, director Sohanur Rahman Sohan, Delwar Jahan Jhantu were present at the oath-taking program.
On January 28 the election for 2022-2024 tenure of the association was held. Initially, Ilias Kanchan was elected the president and Zayed Khan as general secretary.
After allegations of irregularities during the election were brought against Zayed Khan, he was removed from the post and Nipun was announced the new general secretary of the committee, even though he had won the contest between them at the ballot box, by 176 votes to 163.
Misha's presence at the program was appreciated by all, meanwhile, Zayed Khan was unhappy with the appeal board's decision and vowed legal action against it. On Saturday, he said the new committee would not be allowed to take the oath as he, the outgoing general secretary, had to administer it.
Obviously, he wasn't expecting Misha, his running mate through three elections, to do it in his place.
