The immensely popular television serial “Habur’s Scholarship” on Baishakhi Television has recently embarked on a long-form episodic journey, captivating audiences with its inspiring narrative and educational undertones. Scheduled to air every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 8:40 PM, the serial has already garnered widespread acclaim from both viewers and critics for its engaging storytelling and motivational themes.
Prior to its current long-form format, the series aired special seven-episode editions during Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha, which achieved remarkable success and further cemented its popularity. Responding to this overwhelming audience reception, Mid Enterprise Productions made the strategic decision to transition the serial into a continuous, long-running format, allowing deeper character exploration and extended narrative arcs.
The storyline is penned by acclaimed writer Ahsan Alamgir and directed by Al Hazen, under the supervision of Baishakhi Television’s Deputy Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief, Tipu Alam Milan. The new series features Rashed Simanto in the lead role, reprising his portrayal of Habur, alongside returning cast members Tanzika Amin, Oliul Haque Rumi, Shafiq Khan Dilu, Haider Ali, and Saika Ahmed. The production also introduces fresh faces including Ahona Rahman, Mousumi Hamid, and Neela Islam, adding a renewed vibrancy to the ensemble.
Filming has taken place across diverse locations in Bangladesh and Australia, highlighting the series’ international scope. The narrative follows Habur, a modest young man from a rural background, who receives a scholarship to pursue higher education in Australia. Excelling academically, he breaks university records and achieves top honours. His loyal classmate, Marjan, remains a constant source of support throughout his journey. Although the National Science and Development University (NSDW) offers him a prestigious teaching position, Habur’s patriotism and sense of duty lead him to return to Bangladesh, a pivotal moment that concluded the previous season.
The new chapter picks up with Habur’s reintegration into Bangladeshi society, where he encounters unforeseen challenges and unexpected twists. The story skillfully combines educational messages with motivational elements, particularly resonating with younger audiences and instilling a sense of aspiration and responsibility.
