Bangladeshi actress Shobnom Yesmin Bubly has confirmed that she and actor Shakib Khan have welcomed a daughter, bringing an end to months of speculation surrounding her personal life and absence from the entertainment scene.
On June 5, Bubly announced the news through a post on her Facebook page, revealing that her daughter, Sharlin Khan, was born on May 11. The actress also shared a photograph of the newborn and asked her well-wishers to keep the mother and child in their prayers.
Bubly tagged Shakib Khan in the announcement, although the actor had not publicly commented on the news at the time of the reports.
Bubly Announces the Birth of Her Daughter
Bubly’s announcement came after months in which the actress had largely stayed away from public appearances and professional activities.
In her social media post, she introduced her daughter as Sharlin Khan and shared the first photograph of the newborn with her followers.
The announcement quickly attracted widespread attention, particularly because Bubly’s personal life had been the subject of considerable public speculation during her period away from the spotlight.
Speaking to media enquiries through WhatsApp, Bubly confirmed that her daughter was born at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka.
“Our daughter was born at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka. Alhamdulillah, both mother and daughter are doing well now. Please keep us in your prayers. I will return to work very soon after recovering,” she said.
Bubly Says Both Mother and Daughter Are Doing Well
Bubly’s message made clear that her immediate priority is her recovery and her newborn daughter.
The actress thanked her well-wishers for their prayers and indicated that she intends to resume her professional activities after recovering.
Her statement also clarified one of the questions that had circulated during her absence: reports had previously speculated that she may have travelled abroad for childbirth.
According to Bubly, however, her daughter was born at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka.
Shakib Khan’s Silence Draws Attention
Although Bubly tagged Shakib Khan in her announcement, the actor had not publicly responded to the birth announcement on his social-media accounts at the time of reporting.
His silence subsequently became a subject of discussion among fans and social-media users.
The lack of a public response, however, does not by itself establish Shakib Khan’s personal position regarding the announcement. The actor’s own comments would be required to clarify his response.
Bubly and Shakib Khan’s Marriage
The relationship between Bubly and Shakib Khan has been a major subject of interest among Bangladeshi entertainment audiences.
Their marriage became publicly known in 2022, although it was subsequently reported that the couple had actually married on July 20, 2018.
The couple’s first child, Shehzad Khan Bir, was born on March 21, 2020. His birth was later publicly introduced by the couple through social media.
With the birth of Sharlin Khan, Bubly and Shakib Khan have now become parents to two children together.
Sharlin Khan Is Their Second Child
Sharlin Khan is the second child of Bubly and Shakib Khan.
Her arrival also makes her Shakib Khan’s third child.
Before his relationship with Bubly, Shakib Khan was married to actress Apu Biswas. The former couple married in 2008 and welcomed their son, Abraham Khan Joy, in 2016.
Shakib Khan and Apu Biswas later separated, although they have occasionally been seen together in connection with their son.
Shakib Khan Previously Addressed His Past Relationships
Shakib Khan has previously spoken publicly about his relationships with Apu Biswas and Bubly.
In an earlier interview, when asked about his personal relationships, he said:
“Apu Biswas and Bubly are both part of my past now. There is no possibility of rekindling a relationship with either of them under any circumstances.”
That earlier statement has received renewed attention following Bubly’s announcement about the birth of Sharlin.
However, the statement predates the latest announcement and should be considered in its original context.
Bubly’s Absence From the Entertainment Industry
Bubly had been noticeably less visible in the entertainment industry in the months leading up to her announcement.
She appeared less frequently at film promotions and public events, while her absence from acting activities prompted questions from fans and entertainment media.
During this period, speculation emerged that she may have travelled outside Bangladesh for childbirth.
Bubly’s subsequent statement provided a direct answer to the question of where her daughter was born, confirming Dhaka’s Evercare Hospital as the birthplace.
Bubly Plans to Return to Work
Despite becoming a mother again, Bubly has indicated that she plans to return to acting.
In her message to the media, she said she would resume work after recovering.
The announcement suggests that her absence from professional activities may soon come to an end, although no specific return date has been announced in the information currently available.
Fans will now be watching for updates regarding her next film project and public appearance.
Bubly and Shakib Khan’s Children
The family history surrounding Shakib Khan has been a recurring subject of interest among fans.
His children include:
- Abraham Khan Joy, his son with actress Apu Biswas, born in 2016.
- Shehzad Khan Bir, his son with Bubly, born in 2020.
- Sharlin Khan, his daughter with Bubly, born on May 11.
The birth of Sharlin makes her Shakib Khan’s third child.
Why Sharlin Khan’s Birth Became Major Entertainment News
The announcement attracted particular attention because of the secrecy and speculation surrounding Bubly’s personal life in the months before the birth was made public.
Her reduced public appearances created widespread curiosity, while the absence of confirmed information led to various claims about her whereabouts and pregnancy.
By announcing the birth herself, Bubly provided important details about her daughter, including her name and birth date.
She also directly confirmed that both she and her daughter were doing well.
The Bottom Line
Bubly has finally confirmed the birth of her daughter Sharlin Khan, ending months of speculation surrounding her absence from the public eye.
The actress said that her daughter was born at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka on May 11 and assured well-wishers that both mother and child are doing well.
While the announcement has generated considerable discussion about Shakib Khan’s silence and the couple’s personal history, the central message from Bubly is clear: she is focused on her recovery, her newborn daughter and eventually returning to work.
