Runa Laila, a prominent singer in the subcontinent, returned to Bangladesh Betar after a 13-year sabbatical. She recorded the song "O Brishti Tumi" written by Suman Sardar and composed by Sadek Ali for Bangladesh Betar`s Transcription Service. Before this, she worked with children on a song for Channel i that was inspired by Sadek Ali`s tune. "O Brishti Tumi" was recorded on February 29 at Transcription Service`s Drama Studio in the capital.
During the recording of the song "O Brishti Tumi," the Transcription Service director, Anwar Hossain Mridha, Regional Director Rawnak Jahan, and others were present.
After the recording, Runa Laila expressed her appreciation, saying, "I found the lyrics of the song captivating, and I particularly enjoyed the melody. Some of my previous songs have resonated well with the audience on Bangladesh Betar. Hopefully, this song will also be well-received. It was a delightful experience to return to the radio after a considerable time. I was impressed by the modernisation of radio and the sincerity displayed by everyone involved."
Mustafizur Rahman, Bangladesh Betar`s deputy director, stated that in July 2011, Runa Laila sang two songs about the Liberation War for the Dhaka center of Bangladesh Betar. The songs are titled "Akhaura Theke Azimpurer Pothe Ektu Dure" and "Ek Muktijoddha Bolchilo Taar Dukher Kotha".
Both songs were written by Md Rafiqul Islam and composed by Debendra Nath Chattopadhyay. Rahman expressed enthusiasm at Runa Laila`s return to Betar after a long absence, saying it is good news for both the organization and the listeners.
According to reports, after recording the song, Runa Laila engaged in a radio interview. Sadek Ali, the song`s composer, confirmed that it will be aired on Bangladesh Betar in the near future.
