Singer, actor and music director Pritom Hasan and his wife, model and actress Shehtaz Monira Hashem, have decided to end their marriage by mutual agreement after a decade together. The couple announced the decision in a joint statement shared on social media, stressing that their separation was reached amicably and after careful consideration.
In their statement, Pritom and Shehtaz said they remain grateful for the time they spent together and for the memories they created throughout their relationship. Although they have chosen to part ways, they said they continue to care for and respect each other.
The couple explained that, over time, they had come to recognise difficulties in their mutual understanding and had concluded that living separately would be better for both of them. They made clear that the decision was not taken suddenly, but followed a lengthy period of reflection and discussion.
According to the statement, the decision was made with the consent of both parties, with support from their families. They are now going through the formal process of divorce and preparing to begin a new chapter in their respective lives.
The couple also appealed to their friends, colleagues and the media to respect their privacy during what is a sensitive period. They requested understanding and restraint regarding their personal circumstances, while expressing gratitude to those who continue to offer them support.
Pritom and Shehtaz’s relationship began several years before their marriage. They were in a relationship for five years before getting married on 28 October 2022. Pritom is known for his work as a singer, actor and music director, while Shehtaz has established herself in the entertainment industry through modelling and acting.
Their relationship had attracted public attention over the years, particularly because both have been active figures in Bangladesh’s entertainment sector. Despite their decision to separate, the tone of their joint statement remained respectful, with neither making allegations against the other or disclosing private details about the circumstances surrounding their decision.
The couple have also avoided turning the separation into a public dispute, instead presenting it as a mutual decision taken after considerable thought. Their emphasis on continued care and respect reflects their wish to bring the relationship to an end without hostility.
As they move through the formal divorce process, their request for privacy is likely to remain central to how they handle the next stage of their personal lives. For now, the couple have asked the public and those close to them to approach the situation with sensitivity and understanding.
