Star celebrities’ emotional reflections on Father’s Day

Star celebrities share emotional reflections on Fathers Day.

Dhaka, Jun 15 - Marking the occasion of International Father’s Day 2025, netizens including several popular names from the media and entertainment industry posted emotional tributes on social media throughout Sunday, sharing their heartfelt wishes and wonderful memories.

Renowned director Ashfaque Nipun paid tribute to his late father with an emotional Facebook post and a handsome-looking photograph of his father, with the caption: “Happy Father's day Abba. The older I grow, the more I discover how much impact you've left on me even though you left us when I was a child.”

“You've provided us with a secured future. They say I am your look alike but I wish I got half of your courage, dashing look, charisma, smartness and focus. I hope you are happy watching me trying to grow, from up there. Love you and miss you a lot Abba,” Nipun wrote on Sunday.

Actress Sabnam Faria also remembered her late father with a heartfelt Facebook post, noting that Father’s Day changed in meaning for her after his passing. She said this July marks his 8th death anniversary, a time that still feels heavy despite the years.

Faria described her father as a principled and loving man—an ideal she feels no one has ever matched. From being a government doctor to a devoted family man, he left an indelible impression on her life.

She also expressed gratitude for the fatherly roles played by her two brothers-in-law, praising their constant support and love. Faria noted how her young nephews, whom she lovingly calls “Baba,” now embody that spirit of fatherhood.

Popular actress Apu Biswas shared a touching video of her son Abram Khan Joy playing harmonium, wishing for blessings and protection over the father-son bond. The post included mentions of Joy’s father, superstar Shakib Khan, filled with love emojis and reverence.

Shobnom Bubly, another Dhallywood actress and mother to Shakib Khan’s other son Shehzad Khan Bir, also shared a Father's Day message. With a photo of Shakib cuddling their son, she captioned it: “Like father, like son.”

Actor Chanchal Chowdhury posted a sketched portrait of his father, Radha Gobinda Chowdhury, with the simple caption “Baba.” The minimalist tribute resonated deeply with fans for its understated emotion.

Actress Shirin Shila remembered both her biological father and her father-in-law, calling them both "Abbu" with equal love. She asked for prayers for both fathers, expressing deep emotional bonds with them.

Singer Atiya Anisha shared a moving post describing her father as her closest friend and biggest source of strength. She wrote about his unconditional support and prayed for his health and long life under Allah’s blessings.

Father’s Day, first celebrated in 1908 in Fairmont, West Virginia, has grown into a global tribute to fatherhood. Recognized officially in 1966 by US President Lyndon B Johnson, the day is now observed on the third Sunday of June in many countries. - UNB
