His father was originally from Khulna, in Bangladesh, his parents had an arranged marriage but Sunny tells us that; "when my father went to visit my mother he knew straight away that he wanted to marry her."

They wanted a better life so they came to Dundee in the 1970's, initially his father to studied the jute industry then worked as a garment finisher in Levi's factory.
When the couple first came to Scotland they were the only Bengali's in Dundee so they suffered some racial abuse; "it was quite hard for them," Sunny said.
His father then opened a series of restaurants, Sunny explains more about him, "he was a really cheery person who everybody respected him so they appointed him the head of the Bangladesh community in Dundee."
