He was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by Channel I in 2017 and received the Rabindra Award from Bangla Academy in 2025.

Sadi Mohammad's father, Salimullah, lost his life during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971, and a road in the capital's Mohammadpur area was named after him. His passing has left a somber impact on the cultural landscape of the country.
