Dhaka: Bangladeshi film star Shakib Khan went to Labaid Hospital in Dhaka’s Dhanmondi area for medical check-up after feeling sick on Thursday afternoon.

The hospital authorities said Shakib Khan along with a relative went to the Emergency Unit of the hospital at about 1:00pm.

Shakib’s relative said, the popular actor was brought to the hospital as he suddenly fall sick with chest and shoulder pain.

Labaid Hospital Customer Care official Sahara Akhter said the film star came to the hospital, but he has not been admitted to the hospital yet.

The customer care official said right now Shakib Khan is doing an ECG (Electrocardiogram) test.

Bangladesh film star Shakib Khan claimed on Tuesday that the news of his marriage with film actress Apu Biswas and birth of their son were kept in secret considering Apu’s career in the film industry, said Shakib Khan at a live programme on a private television channel.

‘Apu wanted to back in the industry, that’s why I kept it secret thinking of Apu’s career.’

Earlier, Apu Biswas told a Bangladesh television station she had a seven-month-old child with Shakib Khan, whom she had married in secret in 2008, and was only going public now because of his neglect.

She has starred in at least 40 movies alongside her now estranged husband, known as King Khan in Bangladesh for his dominance of the silver screen.

‘I kept the marriage secret for his welfare. I’ve sacrificed a lot,’ the 33-year-old told News24 in a tearful television interview that has been endlessly replayed and shared on social media in Bangladesh.

‘But I can’t take his negligence to me anymore, so I’m sharing everything.’

Bangladesh’s movie idols have been known to conceal their marriages before to maintain the illusion of availability to their adoring fans.

But the decision appeared to backfire as thousands in the conservative Muslim-majority nation took to social media to condemn the 38-year-old superstar.

Khan initially denied the marriage had taken place, attacking Biswas as a failure.

He later admitted the pair were married and had a child, but accused Biswas of trying to bring down his career with her revelations.

‘It is a plan to destroy Shakib Khan. If Shakib Khan is destroyed, the Bangladesh film is destroyed,’ he told NTV Online.

Biswas disappeared from the silver screen last year.

Khan is known as a one-man film industry in Bangladesh, where he has featured in scores of hits, most of them romance or action movies.
