Noted actress Ferdousi Majumdar was honoured with the Syed Mahidul Islam Award 2016 on Thursday.

The veteran theatre personality was handed over the award at Syed Mahidul Islam Memorial Festival, organised by theatre troupe Byatikrom at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy.

Five theatre couples were also presented with Yugal Sammanana in recognition of their contributions to the theatre scene at the programme. 

"There are always a few artistes who do not work for fame, but for the love and passion for theatre. Mahidul was one of them. His work was his joy," said eminent theatre personality Ataur Rahman while speaking at the programme as the chief guest.

The event ended with the rendition of the play ‘Me and Rabindranath’ performed by theatre group Prangonemor.
