Chit-Chat with Tushar
Cultural Correspondent
Abdur Nur Tushar, a doctor by profession, is a popular anchor of a magazine programme for BTV. Stepping into the media world at the age of 18, he has been active on the small screen. He talks with our cultural correspondent about his work in TV.The beginnings
While still a student, Tushar first appeared in BTV as a debater. Later, he was offered a chance to anchor in Open University programmes. From then on, he hosted several quiz and educational programmes. From 1995, he began to anchor the magazine programme Shubheccha for BTV. Programmes on the anvil
The health related programme, titled Dehagori, is to be aired soon after the ground work is finalised. The scripts and other related works have already been completed. Tushar is also doing some children's programmes -- Horlicks Genius Bangladesh and Pepsodent Brain Check. In addition, he has also begun another children's programme, Torko Juddho. Required skills for an anchor
Tushar believes that 'anchoring a magazine show requires skill and imagination. The person has to have presence of mind and quick wits.' In the absence of a skillful host, he says, the programmes fail to attract attention. It is not easy to participate and present the entire show at the same pace. As a result quality makers are fading away and so is the audience.
