• Shakib says he is emotionally okay and handling everything “as a grown man.”
• He appeared to suggest he is still with the same woman despite breakup reports.
• Asked if Zari would attend his Kenya boxing match, Shakib said it would be “a surprise” to him too.

Just days after socialite Zari Hassan publicly announced that her marriage to Shakib Cham had come to an end, the businessman appears to be sending a different message.

Speaking during a media interview ahead of his upcoming boxing match in Kenya, Shakib Cham downplayed speculation surrounding the status of his relationship, insisting that he remains a married man and is emotionally stable despite the ongoing public scrutiny.

When asked how he was coping with recent events, Shakib said he was handling everything as a grown man and was emotionally okay. Pressed further on whether he was still married, he responded in the affirmative.

The interviewer then sought clarity on whether the woman in his life was the same person the public already knows. Shakib’s response suggested that nothing had changed on his end.

“Sometimes the same person I have is the same person I’m still having,” he said.

Asked whether Zari would be present at his boxing match in Kenya, Shakib avoided giving a direct answer, saying it would come as a surprise to him as well if she showed up.

“It would be a surprise to me as well,” he remarked.

His comments come only days after Zari released a statement indicating that their marriage had ended, fueling widespread speculation about the future of their relationship.

While Zari has publicly maintained that the marriage is over, Shakib has continued to distance himself from the breakup narrative, with his latest remarks likely to leave fans even more confused about where the couple truly stands.

For now, all eyes remain on whether either party will provide further clarity on the status of their relationship.
