The popular singer Kishore Palash is well liked in remote parts of the country, especially for his folk songs. Alongside music he also follows sport, and in football Palash is a die-hard Argentina supporter. Since the World Cup began he has been immersed in Argentina on social media, backing his favourite team wearing an Argentina jersey with his two children. But the singer has now made an unusual announcement: if Argentina become champions, he will jump into the Buriganga.
Kishore Palash posted a photo of himself sitting on a boat on the Buriganga on his Facebook timeline, with the announcement in the caption: “If Argentina become champions, straight into the Buriganga.” The Argentina-Spain final begins at 1am on 20 July and will end at 3am or a little after. If Argentina do become champions, when will Kishore Palash jump into the Buriganga — right then, in the middle of the night? Fans are asking. Kishore Palash is well known for folk and life-oriented songs, winning listeners’ hearts with “Bhanga Tori Chhera Pal,” and has given music lovers many popular songs including “Bhober Bari,” “Joubon Gele Prem Hobe Na,” “Kolonki,” “Dil Diya Jare Bhalobasilam” and “Doyal.”
