Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
Today is the 25th death anniversary of hero Salman Shah. He died on this day in 1996. His death is still a mystery. When Salman worked in the film industry there was no heroine who did not work against him. From Shabnur-Moushumi to Shabnaz, Shahnaz, Lima, Shabjan, Shilpi, Brishti, Shyama- everybody worked against Salman in movies during
that time. After deceased of Salman, Ferdous, Riaz and Shakil Khan worked in the film industry to fill up the blank space of late hero. Even today’s superstar Shakib Khan’s
inspiration is also Salman Shah. Bangladesh Film Actors Association, Directors Association, Producers-Distributors Association gave their condolence messages to mark the death anniversary of Salman Shah. Salman’s mother Nila Chowdhury has to pass mourning day on her
son’s death anniversary.
