“I’ve Seen Many Selfish Fathers”

Shahriar Nazim Joy, once a regular face in Bangladeshi television dramas, was known for his compelling performances alongside contemporaries such as Mir Sabbir, Tony Dias, and Litu Anam. He also appeared in films, establishing himself as a versatile actor.

At the height of his acting popularity, Joy stepped away from the acting world. He later returned as a television presenter, carving out considerable success in this medium as well. Over the past five years, he has become hugely popular as a host, leading shows like:

• Sense of Humor
• 300 Seconds
• Several other notable programmes

In addition to his on-screen presence, Joy remains active on social media, where he often shares personal reflections and insights.

In a recent post, Shahriar Nazim Joy wrote: “I’ve seen many selfish fathers. My life was shaped by my father’s choices. My grandfather thought about my father, my father thought about me, and I think about them. My great-grandfather thought about my grandfather. But do I remember my great-grandfather? Or does my grandfather remember him? Then why do I overthink so much?”

He elaborated on what he means by “selfish fathers”: “I’ve seen many fathers who only think about themselves. In the end, what does all this overthinking leave for oneself?”

He concluded with a nuanced reflection: “Perhaps they are not exemplary fathers, but in their own way, by loving themselves and living for their own life, they might be doing something right.”
