Actress Parimani, a well-known figure in the Bangladeshi entertainment industry, recently shared her emotional struggles on social media, revealing the loneliness she feels as a single mother. In a heartfelt Facebook post on Monday evening, Parimani opened up about the challenges she faces while raising her children alone and coping with the absence of her loved ones.
Parimani lost her parents at a young age and was raised by her maternal grandfather, Shamsul Haque Ghazi, who she fondly referred to as “Nanabhai.” He was her pillar of support until his passing in November 2023. Since then, Parimani has been navigating life on her own, raising her own child and taking on the responsibility of caring for another child. Her separation from her ex-husband, actor Shariful Raj, over a year ago has added to her struggles.
In her post, Parimani expressed how the simple act of eating alone has become a poignant reminder of her solitude. She wrote, “When I sit down to eat alone, I feel incredibly lonely. I feel like an orphan. When Nanabhai was alive, I never realized I could feel this alone. Whether it was day or night, he would always sit with me during meals. Now, I try to find time for myself when the kids are asleep, but I can’t bear to eat alone. During Ramadan, there are no arrangements for Sehri or Iftar for me. I’ve always been someone who adapts and finds a way to live again. I know that when my children grow up, I’ll find happiness again. I won’t have to eat alone anymore.”
Parimani also reflected on the pressure to present a polished image on social media, acknowledging that reality often differs from the curated lives people portray online. She wrote, “Oh, life! How much we try to present ourselves in a polished way on social media! But does it always reflect reality? No, it doesn’t.”
Despite her struggles, Parimani remains resilient, focusing on her children and hoping for brighter days ahead. Her candid post has resonated with many, drawing an outpouring of support from fans and followers who admire her strength and honesty.
Parimani’s journey as a single mother and her ability to persevere through adversity continue to inspire many, shedding light on the often unseen challenges faced by individuals in similar situations.
