Jharna said: "I have never imagined that I would get Tk10 lakh just for buying a fridge. At first, I could not believe it but I was convinced by a phone call later from the Marcel head office. We expect that Marcel brand will conquer the hearts of the people of Bangladesh."
Actor Amin Khan said, "Bangladeshi people are being cheated through purchasing non-branded products in the name of foreign brands. Customers are not only being cheated but also country's money are being transferred to foreign countries. So, we should buy locally made products to keep strengthening our economy."
Actor Mamnun Hasan Emon said, "Today I witnessed how the people's dreams come true and how the people are being benefited by Marcel's activities. As it is a local company, our own people are working here and thus Marcel is creating huge employment taking the country in a new height."
The program was attended, among others, by Mohammadpur union chairman Feroz Alam Bhuiyan Regan, Marcel's Head of Sales Matiur Rahman, Deputy Executive Director Nurul Islam Rubel, Divisional Sales Manager Mizanur Rahman, Regional Sales Manager A N M Mohibbullah, and 'Dhaka Electronics' Proprietor Razib Chandra Das.
