Her grandmother is Professor Emeritus Sultana Zaman, founder of Bangladesh Protibondhi Foundation - an organization for identification and care of mentally challenged children in Bangladesh.

She began performing with the band "Bangla" in 1998. In 2012, she released her solo album "Rai" which consisted of songs written by her and Tareq Masud's songs. Masud had also filmed one of Bangla's music videos named "Kanaar Haat Bajar" and had helped Anusheh with the making of Bangla's second album Prottutponnomotitto.
