"Whenever my management informs me that I am going to perform in any event here in Bangladesh, it always feels great. I eagerly wait to pack my suitcase and travel to this country. I love to perform here; I love the food," Roy said at a press conference in a Dhaka hotel on Wednesday (July 05, 2023).

Echoing the same, Pritam Das from the popular duo Taalpatar Shepai said they are overwhelmed with the love of their Bangladeshi fans and admirers.

Roy, while answering a question from this correspondent, said, he was grateful to many Bangladeshi artists and moved by the enthralling performances featured in the two seasons of Coke Studio Bangla.

"Whenever I come here to perform, I have always received tremendous support from many respected Bangladeshi artists. The late-great Ayub Bachchu is one of them; he always admired me from the beginning," said Roy.

"I remember when I was young like Pritam and Suman, Bachchu bhai and many other legendary musicians — who are also immensely popular in our West Bengal — showered me with love and tremendous guidance. I am so grateful, and I always feel blessed that I got love from both the Bengals," said Roy.

When asked which songs he was going to perform at the concert, Roy said: "As musicians and artists we have so many songs but no matter where we go, crowds always demand for some of the most popular tracks. I will definitely try to deliver some of them tomorrow (today)."
