She has won the Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer seven times, a record that speaks to her consistency and dominance in the industry. Her versatility is further highlighted by her win for Best Music Composer in 2018, making her one of the few artists to be honored in both singing and composing categories. The Independence Award, Bangladesh's highest civilian honor, was bestowed upon her in 1977, recognizing her contributions to the nation's cultural heritage. Internationally, her album Super Runa earned a Golden Disk Award for selling over 100,000 copies in a single day, and she holds a Guinness World Record for recording thirty songs in three days.
