The entire showbiz industry mourned the demise of the noted filmmaker. They were hoping to pay their last respects to the director at FDC. However, his family preferred to take Sohan's remains to Tangail so that they could lay him to rest next to his wife's grave, which was his last wish. 

On Thursday morning, Sohan's body was taken to his in-laws' house in Tangail where relatives and locals flocked to see him for the last time.
