Early life and background

Nahid Afrin was born on 13 December 2001 in Biswanath Chariali, Assam. She grew up in a family where her mother is Fatema Ansari and her father is Anowar (Anowar/Anower) Ansari; she has a younger brother named Faiz Anower. Nahid attended Little Star School in Biswanath Chariali and completed her class 10 board examinations. She began formal training in music very young, starting lessons at age three with her first teacher, Biblee Bhagawati, and later studied at Bhatkhande Kala Kendra in Assam.

Career

Nahid’s rise began with performances at local competitions and stage events across Assam. In 2015 she took part in Indian Idol Junior, where she finished as the first runner-up and gained wider recognition. Her entry into playback singing for films came soon after: she made her Bollywood playback debut with the song "Rajj Rajj Ke" in the film Akira. Alongside film work, she has recorded songs in Assamese, Hindi, and Bengali for regional films and projects, including tracks such as "Akuli Bikuli" and "Uri Uri."

As her profile grew, Nahid received multiple regional awards. These honors include titles and prizes recognizing her as a promising young singer and a leading female playback performer at state and regional award ceremonies. Notable acknowledgements listed include the Sonit Kuwori title, several youth and achievement awards in 2015 and 2017, the Best Female Playback Singer award at the Pride East Awards in 2017, the Assam State Film Award for Best Playback Singer in 2018, and a Prag Cine Award in 2019.

Public profile

In 2018 Nahid Afrin was appointed as the first Youth Advocate for UNICEF’s North East region, a role focused on supporting child rights and youth issues in the area. Her appointment positioned her as both a cultural and youth figure for the Northeast.

Her public life has also included moments of controversy and widespread attention. In 2017, reports circulated that a group of clerics had issued a fatwa restricting her from performing on stage. The incident attracted responses from political leaders and public figures and prompted discussions about artistic freedom. Nahid described the episode as a difficult period, particularly as it coincided with a critical academic year; she later resumed her musical and academic routines and continued performing.

Aside from singing, Nahid has interests in acting, drawing, and tennis. Academically she has performed well in school examinations, with strong marks noted in secondary-level results.

Latest updates

Nahid continues to perform and record, with honors and playback credits to her name through the late 2010s. She remains based in Assam and active in both regional music and youth advocacy work.
