Valentine’s Day is celebrated worldwide on 14 February. In our country, this day is associated with the festival of Pahela Phalgun, the beginning of Rituraj Basant. Actor-producer Afzal Hossain wrote an open letter to his wife today (February 15) after such a happy day.
After the special time of Valentine’s Day and Pahela Phalgun, why Afzal wrote such an open letter to his wife on the day after – the question may arise in everyone’s mind for related reasons. He did not give a direct answer to this question in his letter. But if you read the whole letter, you will get the answer.

Afzal Hossain wrote in the beginning of his letter, ‘The nature of some questions is to suddenly float like a whale on its back. Spring has arrived. I see people wearing the color of Phagun on the road. The smell of joy in the air. Kolkata is different today. Happy beautiful people are shining. An old question comes to mind. Every birthday of Mona (Afzal Hussain’s wife) this question wakes up like a whale showing its back. How am I as a husband? The answer is neither good nor bad. I understand that I lack the ingredients to be a good husband. If I knew what kind of qualities one should have to become a suitable husband, would I have taken the initiative to become a unique husband? The straightforward answer is – no.’

Speaking about himself, Afzal wrote, ‘I am a person under the eyes of the Creator, He has written on the forehead, this servant wants to spend his life forever, it is granted.
Then he opens the notebook and looks at the list to make pairs. Looking for the opposite party extremely tolerant, cold-headed, very messy, less talkative, loving but very strong in the mind, who can be found! Not found then. Then he felt the need to create someone rich in those elements. When the creation was over, he saw that the man was from the north and the woman was from the south – not only in type, but also in the age of the two people.
Afzal Hossain wrote about women in eloquent language, ‘The creator thought, let it be. The Nari Ratna is prepared with many qualities, there will be no problem. No problem. In thirty-two years my restlessness has subsided, my hot flashes have subsided, I have developed the habit of thinking with a cool head. So many things have changed so effortlessly for the better. There was no improvement in disorganized behavior. Because it is not done, the cold head of the other side often gets a chance to warm up. luckily It can be understood that there is life in the world.’
Afzal’s comment on married life, ‘I hear how many people say that being single from married is not just a difference – life has to be changed. At home we often listen to the pleading Let Me Be Me… song. Sachin Dev Burman no longer has you, he is also bad. These are not the echoes of the mind, but our favorite songs. I love to hear it again and again. How many people have different kinds of laughs about married life. Neither I nor Mana have a smile, nor a leak. He is like him, I am like me. No one ever wanted to ride on anyone’s neck.’
Talking about the long journey of family life, Afzal writes, ‘We have been independent for thirty-two years. For thirty-two years he has treated me as a person of no particular identity – what could be a greater achievement than these two! Let the colors of the fagun, spring and Valentine’s day roam from house to house every day.’
