Actor Shakib Khan cancels media briefing on marriage, child

Actor Shakib Khan has backed off from appearing before the press over his marriage to and child with co-actress Apu Biswas.

After Biswas was interviewed live by a TV channel on Monday, Khan said that he would brief the media the next day.

But, around 11am on Tuesday, the actor took to the social media denying that any briefing was to be held.

In a Facebook post, he described reports of a media briefing by him as 'fake news.'

"I will tell you everything when the time comes."

Actress Biswas, who had been out of the limelight for about a year, gave a live interview on Dhaka-based broadcaster News24 where she claimed to have married Khan in 2008 and had a child with him last year.

She said she had reportedly kept the nuptials quiet for the sake of Khan and his career.

Shakib and Apu were cast as a pair for the first time in a 2006 film, Koti Takar Kabin.

The duo then appeared in a number of box office hits. Rumours swirled around their love affair ever since.

Shakib admitted that he married Apu and fathered the son.

"I take responsibility for my son.”

“But what she did was not fair," he told bdnews24.com on Monday, disapproving of Apu’s interview with the media.

End of secrecy
