Actress Parimoni has said the person who sent her shefali flowers by air from Chattogram for her birthday was a woman, not a man. The clarification came in response to a Facebook post by actor and director Shahriar Nazim Joy, who had joked about the sender's identity, according to বাংলাদেশের আলো.
The actress turned 34 on Saturday, 24 October. Ahead of the occasion she had asked on Facebook for two maunds of shefali flowers to decorate her birthday event, and a woman arranged for the flowers to be flown in from Chattogram to fulfil that request. Parimoni spoke about the gesture at her celebration and said she was moved by it.
Why it matters
The exchange shows how quickly a small personal detail can become public conversation in Bangladesh's celebrity social media scene. A birthday request, a floral delivery and a light-hearted post by a fellow actor were enough to set off widespread speculation about who had sent the flowers.
It also put the focus back on Parimoni herself. The actress used the moment to correct an assumption circulating online, while keeping the sender's identity private. That balance — addressing curiosity without exposing a private individual — is a familiar challenge for public figures whose personal lives draw steady attention.
A joke from Joy, and a short reply
Curiosity about the sender spread across social media after the flowers were mentioned at the birthday event. Joy weighed in with a humorous Facebook post, wondering whether the scale of the gift might stir interest among the wives of wealthy families in Chattogram, and suggesting some might try to find out who had sent it.
Parimoni answered him directly. The person behind the flowers was a woman, she said, pushing back on the implication that a male admirer was responsible. She did not give the woman's name or any further identifying details.
Joy is known in Bangladesh as both an actor and a director, and his posts regularly draw engagement. In this case his remark turned a birthday detail into a wider talking point, and Parimoni's reply closed off the speculation he had raised — at least as far as the sender's gender was concerned.
Shefali flowers and a birthday wish fulfilled
The story began with a public request. Parimoni had asked her Facebook followers for two maunds of shefali flowers for her birthday arrangements, a substantial quantity of the small, fragrant white blooms associated in Bengal with autumn and the season of Durga Puja.
Shipping that volume of flowers by air from Chattogram is an unusual step, and it was the effort behind the delivery that Parimoni highlighted at her event. According to বাংলাদেশের আলো, she expressed her delight at the gesture while speaking to those gathered.
The flowers themselves carry cultural weight in the region, and asking for them publicly turned a decorative choice into an invitation. One admirer took it up, and the result was a delivery that travelled by plane rather than by road.
What to watch
Parimoni has not named the sender, and there is no indication she intends to. Whether the woman chooses to come forward herself is now the open question, and until then the story rests on the actress's own confirmation that the gift came from another woman.
