National Award-winning actor, Riaz won the hearts of the audience with his charming personality and versatile performances. He emerged as a heartthrob superstar with the hit film "Praner Cheye Priyo" in 1997, where he played the male lead.

He has earned several prestigious awards, including three 'National Film Awards' and seven 'Meril Prothom Alo Awards'. Recently, he appeared in the film "Operation Sundarban", which has garnered a positive response from the audience. 

Today marks the birthday of the talented actor. Riaz is spending his birthday just like any other day with his family.

"I don't want to celebrate my birthday in a grand manner this year, because just a few days back, cyclone Sitrang passed through our country. The people in the coastal area have suffered a lot because of this. Their crops have been damaged. Instead, I will pray for their recovery," said Riaz.
