Today marks the 75th birth anniversary of Akbar Hossain Pathan Farooque, whom we know as the Mia Bhai of Bangladeshi film industry. He was one of the most distinguished actors during the golden period of the film industry.
The video clip has gone viral on the social media, garnering criticism from the netizens. Zayed Khan told The Daily Star, “I was forced to sing the song from Farooque bhai’s film that day, and I got very emotional as well.”
On May 15, legendary actor, Freedom Fighter and Parliament Member, Farooque passed away after a lengthy battle with sickness. His loss has been felt by everyone, all over, even in places as far as Australia. That is where National Film Award winning actress and 90s icon, Shabnur is residing.
Actor Ferdous first starred against Dhallywood’s ‘Mia Bhai’ in a film titled, “Ghorer Lokkhi”. That was the start of a beautiful friendship between the actors from two different generations, that continued until Farooque’s demise.
