Early life and education

Pritom was born on 27 January 1993 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the younger of two sons of Bangladeshi singer Khalid Hassan Milu (1960-2005) and Fatema Hasan Polash (née Fatema Parvin Polash). He has an elder brother named Protic Hasan, who is also a singer and carries their father's legacy. Protic currently resides in Dhaka with his wife Moushumi Tasfik and daughter Pritika Hasan.^{[citation needed]}

He attended Capital Hill International School and Safiuddin Sarkar Academy.^[1][7][3] He has also attended Gulshan Commerce College and graduated from Southeast University majoring in English.^[1]

Pritom was 12 years old when his father passed away from liver cirrhosis. Pritom and his family had moved from Purba Rampura to Tongi when his father became sick. After his father's death, Pritom was raised by his mother and elder brother Protic Hasan.^[8] Sometime after his father's death, Pritom and his family left Tongi.

He has been reported to be related to Zayed Khan^[9] and Sheikh Anne Rahman. It has also been reported that his father had an affair with a fight attendant named Ismat Ara Tara and abandoned him and his family when Pritom was little. However, Pritom or his family members have never claimed whether this is true or not.^[10] Pritom has said in multiple interviews that his father was very loving and caring towards him and his brother growing up. Pritom has also talked about grieving over his father's death to this day, years after losing him as a preteen.

Career

He started his music career in his early 20s. Although his father was a famous musician, Pritom was never interested in being a musician. He saw his brother become a musician and decided to give music composing a try in 2011. When he was younger, he said he wanted to work in the Bangladesh Army, but then decided to pursue a degree in English because he struggled with math.^[11] His first composed song, titled "Cheleti Abol Tabol Meyeti Pagol Pagol," was released in 2015. Later on, he began singing, and many of his songs gained popularity among young people. At the start of his career, he had sung some covers of his father's songs.^[12]

Hasan began his acting career by starring in a short film titled "Habib Wahid: Jhor." His breakthrough performance was in Nuhash Humayun's 700 Taka, which garnered popularity.^{[13][14][15][16]} Since then he has acted in numerous music videos, short films, feature films, web content, and shows.
