Renowned Dhaka-based film stars Shakib Khan and Shabnam Yasmin Bubly are preparing to welcome their second child, bringing fresh joy to their family. Bubly is currently five months pregnant, and under Shakib’s guidance, she has already begun making all necessary arrangements for the upcoming birth. Their first child, Sheikhzad Khan Bir, was born in the United States.
Multiple sources within the Bangladeshi film industry confirmed to Kaler Kantho that the couple plans to have their second child in the United States as well. For health reasons, Bubly has temporarily stepped back from shooting, including the second schedule of the film Dhakaiya Devdas. She had previously completed four days of shooting in the first schedule alongside co-actor Ador Azad.
The absence of Bubly has led the film’s producers and directors to revise the shooting schedule. Producer Jahangir Sikdar stated, “The second schedule includes scenes centred around Bubly’s character, Roza. In her absence, we are completing the remaining sequences. She had completed four days of shooting with Ador Azad and other co-actors in the first schedule.”
Bubly’s most recent film release was Jongli, and she is currently awaiting the release of Pinik. Additionally, she is scheduled to appear at the inauguration of a shopping complex in Dhaka tomorrow, where she is expected to formally announce her pregnancy.
Below is a concise summary of Shakib and Bubly’s family and professional engagements:
