At present Runa Laila is performing as one of the chief judges of Channel i “Shera Konthon - 2010” competition. The last episode of the singing contest was held at an old-age home in Gazipur. It was indeed an entertaining programme attended by some of our respectable senior citizens staying at that place. In that programme the celebrated singer, out of her deep affection for children, said that one of the contestants was like her son. A nice gesture of goodwill and motherly feelings indeed! As far as I can remember, she had also pronounced another boy as her son during last year's contest.
To be called a mother and being one in reality are quite different. I sincerely hope that mom Runa Laila is in touch with her sons and guiding them, as an affectionate and responsible mother should, to make them worthy citizens of the country.
