Presenter Mousumi Mou received plenty of birthday wishes on 12 November, but a heartfelt tribute from fellow presenter Orchi Rahman made the occasion particularly special.
Orchi celebrated Mou’s birthday with an emotional social media post, affectionately declaring 12 November “Mou Day” and reflecting on their close friendship.
“I call 12 November Mou Day, a day of celebration, because it is the birthday of my beloved Mou. Although it comes only once a year, every day I spend with her feels like another Mou Day!” Orchi wrote.
She joked that anyone who spent 24 hours with Mou would discover just how much one person could do — and how many unexpected incidents they could create in a single day.
Orchi described Mou as someone whose emotions could swing between madness, laughter, tears, stories, demands and hurt feelings within just 15 minutes. Sometimes a friend, sometimes a sister and sometimes the closest person in her life, Mou could also drive her crazy.
Yet, she said, they always found their way back to each other because they remained inseparable parts of one another’s lives.
Recalling the stories behind their photographs, Orchi shared their theme song: “Haste dekho, gaite dekho, onek kothay mukhor amay dekho, dekho na keu hashi sheshe nirobota.”
She ended her message with love and wishes for Mou’s happiness, saying, “May your life be beautiful, blessed and full of joy. Happy birthday, Mou.”
Mou responded with equal affection, joking that while she was a “completely mad” person, Orchi was a “well-mannered mad” one.
“Mad people have found their gathering! InshaAllah, we will remain inseparable parts of each other’s lives forever. And I will keep bothering you for the rest of my life. Lots of love and gratitude, sister!” she wrote.
The birthday celebration also drew love and greetings from Mou’s fans, viewers, well-wishers and colleagues.
