Millions of people watch the couple’s life story, Shehwar Hossain and Maria Hossain. Shehwar is Bangladeshi and Maria is Romanian. The two have jointly opened a Facebook page and a YouTube channel — Shehwar and Maria. They post various videos of their lives in Bengali. Millions of people now watch those videos.
Like a “mutual friend” on a Facebook profile, Maria and Shehwar Hossain met through a friend. It’s been more than 3 years. However, they have not been able to resolve who offered love to whom before. Those who have seen their videos on YouTube know that there is often a hypothetical fight between the two.
Let’s do that. That too is part of the chemistry of their relationship. And this chemistry seems to be the most loved by the fans on YouTube and Facebook.
When it comes to relationships, are we really the same as we see LE, Maria and Shehwar on YouTube? Maria commented, “YouTube is just a virtual door to our relationship. As you can see, we are. We have to say that we are lucky to have each other.” Shehwar added, “Maybe people have welcomed us because we are genuine in front of the camera.”
Shehwar and Maria, this is how they are known on YouTube and Facebook. Shehwar was born and raised in Bangladesh. Maria was born in Romania. However, Maria has mastered the Bengali language. They got married in Dhaka last year. Now their family is in London, U.K.
Corona made them spend most of their days at home, posting videos of life on YouTube and Facebook pages. And in this way, they reached from far away Britain to Bengali speaking people all over the world.
Love For Bengal
One of the notable, or perhaps most interesting, aspects of Maria and Shehwar’s videos is the excellent Bengali spoken by Maria. She said that she likes the culture and language of Bangladesh. She also found many similarities between Bangladesh and Romania. Apart from that, people from both countries give priority to family.
Maria learned Bengali by herself. She started learning words and sentences, which are more used in Bengali out of interest in learning a new language. After that, the more you mingled with Bangladeshis, the more you heard Bengali, the more you understood. In Maria’s words, “Bengali is much sweeter”.
Meals Are On The Table
Language barriers are not removed. But food? Is food from two countries served at one table? That is not the case. Because they both love to try new foods. Maria, however, agreed to the terms, not to be too bitter. Clear answer. And when Shehwar wants to eat very local food, he goes to his mother with Maria. Apart from that, the number of Bengali restaurants in East London is a lot.
The Destination Is Portugal
Both are travelling insects. It can be understood by watching their videos. He said that he has visited many countries. Went together, which is one of the most preferred destinations? Venice, Italy, Maria said. And Santorini in Greece for Shehwar has become memorable. They want to go to Portugal.
I ask the question, how do they spend the day during corona? Both of them said that they are working from home. When there is no work, hours are spent talking, watching Netflix, making food and chatting. Their YouTube channel was launched in July last year from this house. Then they started posting videos on Facebook. A video of them on Facebook has been viewed more than 36 lakh times.
I wrote with great interest, I want to inform you that your fans do not know. Tell me what to write? Shehwar said, “Maria knows five languages. Another thing is that although I get the credit, the truth is that Maria has learned Bengali on her own.” And about yourself? “I used to play cricket in the Essex Premier League. I was the captain of the school cricket and football team.”
New Year’s Resolutions
Maria was born in Plymouth, Romania. She grew up there. She was the health and security manager in Iraqi Kurdistan for a couple of years since 2013. She came to London in 2015. She is now a health and safety consultant by profession.
And Shehwar’s work is about human resources. Has been in London since 2005. Born in Dhaka. Shehwar spent his childhood and adolescence in different parts of the country including Dhaka, Comilla, Jessore, Bogra and Sylhet due to the service of his father Syed Ehmar Hossain in the army.
“It simply came to our notice then. As a child, my father used to bring us biryani every Friday morning. That is my sweetest memory. Dad is the hero of my childhood. All the time, I wanted to be like him. Now my mother is everything. At one time, he used to read news on Bangladesh Betar. Now everyone is locked in the house. All three of my siblings are younger than me. Everyone lives in the UK.”
A new year has begun. What are Maria and Shehwar’s New Year’s resolutions? Maria and Shehwar are also waiting to come to Bangladesh. When their channel on YouTube crossed the milestone of one lakh subscribers, they took the responsibility of feeding one child. She wants to meet the baby. He said that he will make many videos about Bangladesh with him.
