Apurba denies having extramarital affair, ties the knot

Popular actor Ziaul Faruq Apurba tied the knot with Shyamma Dewan, a US citizen, on Wednesday. 

The couple’s Gaye Holud ceremony was held on Tuesday, August 31. The wedding ceremony took place at a convention centre near Malibagh.

In a written statement, the actor said: “I am very pleased to share the news with everyone that I am starting a new chapter in my life. Shyamma Dewan is my wife. I thank you all for your prayers and blessings.”

“I saw a few disturbing allegations that accused me of having an extramarital affair in my previous marriage. I strongly condemn those reports. They are simply baseless and false,” he continued.

After the news of Apurba’s third marriage broke, his ex-second wife Nazia Hassan Audity fuelled the rumours by writing on Facebook: “Four-year love affair is ending in marriage. Good luck.”

Audity and Apurba finalized their divorce last year in March. The couple cited irreconcilable differences for the termination of their nine-year marriage. They have a son together.

Apurba had previously told the press: “Yes, I am getting married. And no, I am not committing any crime. I had plans to share the good news with everyone after the official wedding ceremony; however, people are already saying all kinds of stuff about me. So I had to announce the news.”

“Our marriage was arranged by our families and we are very much looking forward to our future together,” Apurba said.

His wife Shyamma Dewan has recently finished her BBA studies and is currently working as a brand ambassador for a car manufacturing company in the United States.

Previously, the actor was briefly married to small screen popular actor Sadia Jahan Prova.
