Porshi to judge reality show ‘Young Star’

Having enthralled the audience with her delicate voice over the past few years, young singer Sabrina Porshi is all set to play her role as a judge at the Rtv’s brand-new music reality show ‘Young Star’.

Porshi will co-judging the show with musicians Ibrar Tipu and Protic Hasan in the panel, according to a release issued by Rtv on Wednesday. The organisers said the reality show aims at young talents with the slogan ‘Gola Chere Gao’.

As ‘Young Star’ marks Porshi’s first-ever collaboration in a reality show as a judge, the singer is very excited to be a part of it. She herself started her music career from a reality show organised by a private TV channel in 2008.

Porshi said about her involvement as a judge in the reality show, “I myself came up from a reality show. I had sung from the stage then. This time, I will sit on the judge’s bench and listen to the contestants’ songs. When a contestant comes to sing on stage, many things, including dreams and fears, work through his/her head. I went through the same experience.” 

“Once Kumar Biswajit sir told me, ‘You too will be a judge one day’. Now sir’s words are going to come true. I am very happy about this show. I hope I can bring up some good artists using my utmost talent and hard work,” added Porshi, expressing her gratitude to Rtv CEO Syed Ashiq Rahman and head of programmes Dewan Shasmur Rakib for her involvement in the event.
