Fans passionately cheer on the Bangladesh cricket team, known as the "Tigers." "Char Chokka Maro," a song composed by Shouquat Ali Imon, has become an anthem for the team and its supporters.[11]

Imon married his third wife Hridita Reza, a news presenter in a private television channel, on 27 February 2020.[22] On 27 September, Imon was arrested by the police after Reza accused him of physically torturing her in a case.[23]
