"Now you can Congratulate me!
We have won the Silver Saint George award (Special Jury Award) for ADIM (The Instinct) at the 44th Moscow International Film Festival and I got the Netpack jury award earlier. So ADIM (The Instinct) has won two awards in Moscow! I have dedicated this achievement to my loving father Shahjahan Bhuiyan.
From the beginning of the festival Bahrooz Shaoibi and I being very good friends were always together, surprisingly he got Golden Saint George and me the second one!
There are lots of well-wishers who tried to reach me but you know it was a very busy time for me and I am going to fly now! So I will answer later, please keep me in your prayers."
