Popular singer Imran Mahmudul spent his birthday away from his family while on a concert tour in the United States, with being separated from his young daughter Inaya making the occasion particularly difficult for him.
The singer celebrated his birthday on September 5 by performing at an event at the FOBANA Convention in Orlando.
Sharing his feelings on social media, Imran said spending his birthday away from his family was not easy, especially as he was unable to have his daughter beside him.
He said the love, surprises and good wishes from fans and well-wishers helped ease the sadness of being away from his family.
This birthday was particularly significant for Imran as it is connected with the memory of welcoming his daughter. As a result, he felt her absence more deeply on the special day.
During his stay in the US, Imran received birthday surprises from fellow artistes and event organisers. He expressed gratitude to his band members, singer Kona, Zayed Khan, composer Emon Saha, filmmaker SA Alok and the FOBANA organisers.
Although busy with his concert schedule, Imran said he received the birthday wishes from fans and friends in Bangladesh. While he could not respond to everyone individually, he said he appreciated every message.
Imran is currently performing at several concerts across the United States.
