Nahid Afrin

As a controversy erupted over an artist being presented with the best playback singer in the state film awards recently purportedly for a song she had not lent her voice to, Minister Bimal Borah claimed that the award was given to the correct singer.

A Muslim teen singer in Assam has been guaranteed protection by the government after nearly 50 Muslim clerics in the state issued a fatwa against her. Nahid Afrin, who, two years ago, placed high on Indian Idol Junior, the famous talent search show, has been asked to stop singing in public by the clerics.

A major highlight of the finale night of Indian Idol Junior was a special visit by Sonakshi's father actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha, who also interacted with the children. Ananya Nanda, who defeated Nahid Afrin and Nithyashree Venkataramanan, received the price money of total Rs 10 lakhs
