GNC Unscripted | "কাকতাল কতটা কাকতালীয়?" — In Conversation with AiA Lemonsky (Ep-1) | Argha Dev

In this episode of GNC Unscripted, we dive deep into the extraordinary life of Asif Iqbal, widely known as AiA Lemonsky — a composer, lyricist, architect, and the soulful vocalist of the band Kaaktaal.

This is not just another artist’s story.
This is the rise of a musician who discovered magic beyond logic — inside a prison cell. Within those walls, he listened to stories of pain, hope, and survival — and turned them into music. Every lyric became a reflection of life’s invisible truths. Every melody became a form of healing — for him and for everyone who listened.

From those corridors to live stages, AiA Lemonsky emerged as one of Bangladesh’s most compelling young singers, leading Kaaktaal, a band known for its mystical evolution, minimalistic style, and deep emotional connection with audiences.

But then—suddenly—they stopped.
Why? What happened?
In this episode, we uncover the full story.

No stage glamour.
No filters.
Just truth, vulnerability, and pure emotion — Unscripted.
