Early Life
Salauddin spent his whole childhood in village in Bangladesh, until moving to Dhaka to perform in the Aranyak Natyadal plays in 1979. But soon, Lavlu realised that there is something more he would like doing, and so after Bangladesh Television, or more commonly known as BTV, started its own production, he acted a few times in television dramas but soon started exploring other options and began working as a photographer. In a recent interview Lavlu expressed why he is so attached to villages of Bangladesh.
“ The communities in villages are strongly-woven together. They are simple and transparent people with very little demands and very small dreams. And they have deep concerns for people around them and they are extremely hospitable. The people in the city however are the complete opposite. They are very individualistic. They have no concern for people outside their immediate family and friends. Moreover, most of the people living in the city have deep roots in villages and when they watch my productions, they can relate to the life style and the characters."

This is something Lavlu is really passionate about, which is quite understandable since thats where he had grown up. Lavlu believes TV Plays situated and about the villages of Bangladesh are entertaining because there is room for a lot of comedy.
