Shuvro (শুভ্র in Bengali), sometimes transliterated as Shubhro or Śubhra, is a fictional character created by Bangladeshi writer Humayun Ahmed. Shuvro is one of Ahmed's recurring characters, who first appeared in the short story "Ekti Shada Gari" ("A White Car"). The character became popular, and Ahmed wrote six novels about Shuvro between 1990 and 2010, including Daruchini Dip (Cinnamon Island), which was adapted as a film in 2007 starring Riaz as Shuvro.

The character, whose name translates as "White", is meant to be a perfect spirit, set apart from the world. As Syed Monzur Morshed put it, Shuvro "is the white of the mind, that is far from all the filth of the earth." He is seen by Bengali readers as a role model. However, Ahmed constantly tested Shuvro's pure spirit with new dillemmas and revelations; in the fourth book, titled simply Shuvro, the character discovers that his real mother is a prostitute, not the mother that he has known.

Just before his death in 2012, Ahmed was working on a film adaptation of his 2010 novel Shuvro Has Gone to the Forest, and he cast actor Riaz in the title role as he really liked Riaz as Shuvro in Daruchini Dip. Ahmed died before work could begin on the film.

Character

Shuvro is the only son of industrialist Iajuddin or in some stories, Mr. Motahar. His mother, Rehana or Jahanara, in some stories, is the only one with whom Shuvro has a real connection. Here, Ahmed gave us an ideal mother-son relationship. Once, Shuvro told his mother that, "If I would receive birth a million times, I would have told the Almighty, that I don't care about who I am born to, but each and every time, I should be sent to you." Shuvro is somewhat of a prince, his complexion is charming and just like other princes, he has many amenities.

Unlike other characters created by Humayun Ahmed, Shuvro changes from one book to another. The only common thing is his name, his thick-rimmed glasses, and his pure soul. He has a distant nature to be the bystander rather than the protagonist. He is not the masculine strong man who saves everyone, but he puts everything together with his own emotional sacrifice.
