PS. Humayun Ahmed was born in 1948 in Kutubpur, Mymensingh. His father Foyzur Rahman, a police officer and literature aficionado, was murdered by the Pakistani army during the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971. Ahmed's younger brother Muhammed Zafar Iqbal is an accomplished columnist, professor and writer of children's and science fiction books. Their brother, Ahsan Habib, is editor of `Unmad' and a cartoonist as well as popular writer.

Humayun Ahmed attended Chittagong Collegiate School and Bogra Zilla School for his secondary education. Receiving excellent scores in both his Secondary School Certificate (S.S.C.) and Higher Secondary Certificate (H.S.C.) examinations, he then obtained second position in combined merit list in H.S.C. from Dhaka Board. After graduating from the University of Dhaka with excellent grades, Humayun Ahmed joined the department of chemistry in the same university as a lecturer. He obtained a PhD. in polymer chemistry from the North Dakota State University. He retired as a Professor of the Department of Chemistry (according to his novel 鈥淐hobi Bananor Galpo鈥? of the University of Dhaka. He is also an honorary fellow in writing at the University of Iowa.

Humayun Ahmed has received considerable criticism. One of the most common leveled at him is the quality of his work has deteriorated after he gained popularity and started writing for money at the request of his publishers. On the other hand, it is said that, from 2003/2004, he is writing more serious and information-containing novels. His brother Muhammed Zafar Iqbal once said "Humayun Ahmed has a great camera, but he only takes picture of birthday parties", referring to his brilliant prose but allegedly trivial subject matters.

Some also criticize his decision to resign as a Professor of University of Dhaka to become a full time writer/film director. But as he is considered as one of the most popular Bengali writers, his career as a professor of chemistry is blurred and he claimed that needed more time to write and direct movies in the black era of Bangla films.

His divorce from his first wife and subsequent marriage to a young actress (Shawon) who was a friend of his daughter Shila caused a much-publicized scandal in 2004. During the four-year-long separation from his wife before divorce, his writing career and personal life was seriously hampered.
