While acting remains her forte, her versatility knows no bounds as she has also pursued her innate passion for singing. A true artist at heart, she serenaded her fans with her debut single album "Tumi Aaj Koto Doore" in 1999. However, her musical prowess didn't stop there as she also released two mixed albums in the years that followed, "Jiboner Joto Pawa" and "Adal Badal," respectively. It's no wonder that her fans consider her to be a true icon of the entertainment industry.
Actress Kushum is making a major comeback in the film industry with her directorial and production debut of "Sharoter Jaba." The film is a personal project for her, as the storyline and screenplay were all created by Kushum herself. Produced under her new production company, Pahardanga Pictures, the movie was filmed in the lush union of Pahardanga in Kalia upazila of Narail, which happens to be her grandfather's ancestral house. Kushum even co-directed the film with Sumon Dhar, and was able to secure a star-studded cast that included Yash Rohan, Jitu Ahsan, Shahidul Alam Sacchu, and many more. The videography was helmed by Khair Khandkar, resulting in a stunning cinematic masterpiece that is bound to be a hit in the industry.
Kushum's journey into the limelight started in 2010 when she graced the big screen for the first time with Mamnoon Hasan Emon in Khalid Mahmud Mithu's "Goheene Shabad." But it was her appearance in director Gautam Ghosh's "Shankhochil" that took her career to new heights. The film won the Indian National Film Award, and Kushum's stellar performance alongside Prosenjit Chatterjee earned her a nomination for the prestigious Merrill-Prothom-Alo Critics' Award for Best Film Actress. She eventually went on to jointly win the Best Actress Award at the National Film Awards in 2018. Kushum's journey from her debut to this award is nothing short of inspiring!
In 2018, the talented Kushum Sikder showcased her acting skills in Hanif Sanket's drama. This was a noteworthy achievement as she had previously worked on a film in 2016. The drama, titled "Shesh Oshesher Golpo", is a must-watch for those who appreciate quality performances. One of the highlights of the drama is the incredible song "Sharoter Jaba", sung by the talented Alia Begum. The song was beautifully written and composed by Emon Chowdhury, with music by Shondhi. Along with Kushum Sikder, the cast includes other talented actors such as Yash Rohan, Jitu Ahsan, Shahidul Alam Sacchu, Naresh Bhuiyan, Mahmudul Islam Mithu, Ashok Bepari, Hasnat Ripon, Jahangir, and many others. The film was skillfully filmed by Khair Khandkar, making it a complete masterpiece.

It is safe to say that with Kushum’s hard-work and dedication she will take Pahardanga Pictures to new heights. Therefore we should all be grateful for her contribution in the showbiz industry and support her with utmost love and respect.
