Background

Imon was born in Dhaka in the then East Pakistan.[6] His father, Abdus Salam, was a writer from Manikganj District.[6]

Career

In his early years, Imon served as an assistant of music composer Satya Saha.[7]

Imon debuted his film career through the film Rooti (1996).[8] He performed as a playback singer for a few films under the pseudonym Saimon.[8] He composed music of Akhi Alamgir's debut album, Tomar Chokh (2011) and Tareen Jahan's debut album Akash Debo Kakey (2011).[9][10]

The T-20 Cricket World Cup, featuring the Twenty20 format, is an international cricket tournament. Fans passionately cheer on the Bangladesh cricket team, known as the "Tigers." "Char Chokka Maro," a song composed by Shouquat Ali Imon, has become an anthem for the team and its supporters.[11]

Personal life

Imon was married to actress Bijori Barkatullah from 1995 to 2012.[12][13][14] Together they have a daughter Urbana Shawkat.[13] Imon has five sisters, Abida Sultana, Rebeka, Rehena, Chitra and Salma (d. 2016), and a brother, Mohammad Ali Shumon.[15][16] Shumon is the founding member of the band Pentagon.[17]

In 2013, Imon then married Jinat Kabir Tithi.[18] In 2014, he was arrested after a blackmail attempt complaint was filed by Tithi.[1][19][20] He later denied the allegations and the case did not result in convictions.[21] The marriage ended in divorce as well.[18]

Imon married his third wife Hridita Reza, a news presenter in a private television channel, on 27 February 2020.[22] On 27 September, Imon was arrested by the police after Reza accused him of physically torturing her in a case.[23]
