Rashid is happy to return to the radio after such a long interval. He said, “I want to perform on radio. But as a professional artiste sometimes it becomes tough, as the remuneration for a radio play is extremely low as compared to a TV play.” He informed that from now on, he will feature quite often in radio plays.
