Ashraful Hossen Saeed a.k.a Hero Alom is sky-rocketing the popularity in Social Media these days. His is widely admired in YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Hero Alom was born in Erulia, Union of Bogra district in Bangladesh in a poor family. When he was 10, his father remarried abandoning Hero Alom and his mother but was, later, adopted by Abdur Razzak. For livelihood, Hero Alom, then, started to sell chanachura in his village which disrupted his education.

A Cassette shop, in his neighborhood, was the place where he used to spend almost all of his unproductive time. When he came to know the owner's intention to trade the shop, he somehow convinced him to sell it to him and payback in installments. Accordingly before 15, he was running two businesses simultaneously.

Subsequently when Cable TV was introduced in the village Hero Alom, with his interest and continuous support from Abdur Razzak, started the Cable business as well. After he started making an ample amount of money, he addressed his immense desire to become an actor  which was shattered by his appearance and physique. Having faced rejection from every other director he opted for releasing a music video of himself, in his Cable TV, directing and also bearing all the expenses. Growing fondness of the village people towards his video acted as incentive for him to release more of them making him a local celebrity.

Marked by the trending videos, he came to tremendous fame and overnight popularity after someone happened to upload it on social media. As the offers flooded in, he then did several TV commercials, short films and music videos. And, besides being a renowned figure in Bangladesh, he is also being called from USA and Singapore. His team will ,soon, be leaving for States.
