Apu Biswas (born 11 October 1989) [1] is a Bangladeshi film actress and model. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Struggling to establish herself as a lead actress in films such as Kaal Sokale, O Amar Chhele, Machine Man or Pitar Ason , blockbusters films such as Koti Takar Kabin , Chachchu have surged her career as one of leading actresses of Dhallywood. At the end of decade 2010's films such as Number One Shakib Khan , and Bhalobaslei Ghor Bandha Jay Na continued her domination as a top actress of the time and her pair with actor Shakib Khan became one of most successful well known film couple. [6]
In 2006, she starred in the FI Manik-directed Koti Takar Kabin as the lead female opposite Shakib Khan for the first time with whom she later acted in more than 75 films.
Apu Biswas Megha was born on 11 October 1989 in Bogra, Bangladesh, to Upendronath Bishwas (d. 2014) and Shefali Bishwas (d. 2020). [7] [1] [8] Apu is the youngest of three daughters and a son. [8]
Biswas made her debut in the film industry with the film Kal Shokale in 2006. [1] She then performed in Koti Takar Kabin . Biswas played the role of Parvati in the 2013 Bangladeshi remake of Devdas . [9] She performed in the 2013 film My Name Is Khan . [10]
On 18 April 2008, Biswas married actor Shakib Khan. [11] The couple has a son, Abraam Khan Joy (born September 27, 2016). [12] They kept their marriage a secret until 10 April 2017, when Apu appeared on television with her son and revealed it. [13] [14] [15] [16] Khan filed for a divorce on 22 November 2017, [17] and the couple was divorced on 22 February 2018. [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]
Biswas had earlier claimed in 2017 that she converted to Islam from Hinduism to marry Khan. [23] However, in a May 2025 interview with The Daily Ittefaq , Biswas clarified that she never converted to Islam during her marriage to Shakib Khan, contrary to her earlier claims. She stated that she was compelled to lie about the conversion due to considerations for her family and her son's future, and she has remained a follower of Hinduism. [24]
Subsequent to the publication of the interview, Shahriar Nazim Joy issued a public statement via social media, wherein he asserted that misrepresentation of religious affiliation was inappropriate and had caused discomfort among both Muslim and Hindu communities. He urged Biswas to offer an unconditional apology, characterising both the act of seeking and granting forgiveness as virtuous. [25] He said,
Dear Apu Biswas, you cannot lie about religion. Saying you believe in Allah one moment and denying it the next has hurt Muslim brothers and sisters and embarrassed those of your own faith.
He added,
Both apologizing and forgiving are noble acts. If you show nobility, others will too.
Many netizens echoed Joy's sentiments, with several expressing dissatisfaction with Apu’s recent statements in the comments. [25]
