DHAKA: Bangladesh film star Shakib Khan, in a live interview with a private TV channel on Tuesday, finally admitted film actress Apu Biswas as his wife.

Shakib Khan came up with this remark on Tuesday night, in response to Apu’s claim that he is her husband and also the father of her eight-month-old son.

When asked if Apu is his wife, Shakib said, “Apu, of course, is my wife…..But I did not want to see my son in the TV screen in this way.”

Earlier on Monday, Apu Biswas came up with the claim that she is the wife of Shakib Khan and they have an 8-months-old son. 

In the live interview with private TV channel News24, Apu Biswas along with her son, said they got married on April 18 in 2008 at Shakib’s residence where members of both families were present. 

Apu changed her name as ‘Apu Islam Khan’ during the marriage. Apu was abroad during her pregnancy and returned home after the baby had been born.  

At some point during the interview, Apu, bursting in tears, said, “But I have kept the marriage a secret for the betterment of Shakib’s carrier. This would’ve been a great story for a film. But it’s the story of my life.” 

“I have sacrificed too much for Shakib and now at the verge of my patience. Shakib undermined my contribution in his life and insulted me. But I can’t bear it any more.”

“I am worried about my child’s future. I can’t ruin his life for the mistake I committed. Shakib gave us money but did not take responsibility of his son. Shakib did not give recognition to our son.”
