Popular film actor Arifin Shuvoo has announced his separation, concluding his nine-year marriage to Arpita Samaddar.

The superstar, who portrayed the Father of the Nation in the biopic ‘Mujib: The Making of a Nation’, made the announcement on Wednesday night from his official Facebook page.

“Despite my reluctance and hesitancy to share anything personal in this situation, I believe the moment is appropriate to inform you all that Arpita and I have come to the understanding that we are compatible with each other as friends but not life partners. We have reached this decision on 20 July that we will live the rest of our lives according to our own terms but also will keep this friendship alive,” Shuvoo wrote.
