What shall I say if all of them claim to be the character in the song!”
“There are so many people in Kolkata going by the name Moidul. So, was he the same Moidul portrayed as one of the seven people (including the narrator) hanging out in the Coffee House? In many interviews, Moidul claimed to have met singer Manna Dey in his teens and were friends with him. When Moidul died in 2014 at the age of 78, many newspapers claimed he was the character in the Coffee House song.ĭuring his lifetime, Moidul claimed himself to be the same character as in the song he said he had hung out with Roma Roy and Sujata. He wrote regularly in the Dainik Azad, the Daily Ittefaq, the Dainik Bangla, the Inqilab, the Sangbad, the Banglar Bani and the Dainik Purbodesh. An accomplished sportsman in Kolkata, Moidul played badminton and football for clubs in Dhaka. Moidul, born on in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, left Kolkata with his family for Dhaka during the riot in 1968. All characters in the song are fictional,” he said in an interview with. “What can I do if someone claims to be Donald Trump or Sunil Gavaskar? These are all lies. Suparnakanti Ghosh, who had composed the song, however, asserted that let alone Moidul, none of the characters mentioned in the song are real.
Some media outlets presented to the Bangladeshi listeners that the late journalist and sports writer Nur Ahmed Moidul was indeed the 'reporter Moidul' of the song. Listeners in West Bengal and Bangladesh humming the song forever have searched the characters - Nikhilesh, Moidul, Sujata, D’Souza, Roma Roy and Amol in reality.
