GM Furukh, a notable Bangladeshi director acclaimed for his contributions to television series, has sadly passed away in a car accident in London.
The news was confirmed by Shadhin Khosru, another expatriate filmmaker residing in London, who shared the heartbreaking update on Facebook. Khosru posted a poignant image with Furukh, expressing his sorrow: “Every day brings more news of loss than joy! My dear brother GM Furukh fought bravely at the Royal London Hospital after a severe road accident. Despite a nearly four-hour surgery, his life couldn't be saved.”
