Shahiduzzaman Selim? Oh, the guy’s everywhere in Bangladeshi cinema. You might know him from Oggatonama (2016), that film about the messy business of migrant workers and the bureaucratic circus around their lives and deaths. He just nails those roles where you can’t decide if you wanna root for him or just roll your eyes. Then there’s Chorabali (2012)—such a wild ride, honestly. That movie's got crime, betrayal, crooked politicians, and enough drama to make your head spin. Selim’s got this knack for playing characters who are a little shady but you still want to know what they’re up to next. And let’s not skip over Surongo (2023). Totally different vibe. A bit more recent, and he’s still holding his own, not phoning it in just because he’s been around the block. He’s one of those actors who doesn’t fade into the background, no matter the size of the role. People in the Bangladeshi film industry know his name for a reason. Off screen? The dude’s been married to Rosey Siddiqui since ’93. That’s, what, over thirty years now? In an industry where relationships are always in the gossip columns, theirs seems refreshingly low-key. Two kids, keeps his home life pretty private—not always posting every family dinner on social media like some celebs. There’s something cool about someone who lets his work speak louder than his Instagram. Selim’s got that old-school vibe but still surprises you.
