Entertainment Report :
A Mymensingh court asked singer Asif Akbar to be present before it on February 14 to provide an explanation regarding the defamation case filed by popular singer Nazmun Munira Nancy. Nancy informed that she had filed a case against Asif with Kotwali Police Station in Mymensingh
on July 10 of 2020. Police have investigated
the case and found the defamation charges to be valid. In the meantime, Asif has
been summoned and the court will now look into the matter, she said.
Referring to the case, Nancy said,
“Asif Akbar is my peer. I didn’t want
to file a case against him but I was forced to do so as he has been maligning
me for quite a while now. I have been humiliated by my family, which is
why I had no other recourse but
to file the case.”
Nancy said she had rendered 12 duet songs with Asif, all of which were released by Asif’s own production company, ARB. I received Tk 2 lakh in signing fees as royalty. I am due receive 25 per cent royalty
as per the terms of the agreement,
but Asif has still not paid up. He offered me a new album instead, to which I didn’t agree. Ever since then, Asif has publicly maligned me, accusing me of being
mentally unbalanced. This is offensive and unacceptable.” Nancy claimed that Asif had
discussed her on YouTube, news media and television shows. Such behaviour
is unbecoming from a senior artist
of his stature. “I have left the entire
matter to the court to decide and
I have no further comment to make
in this regard,” Nancy also said.
