Shakib Cham has opened up about the challenges he’s facing in his marriage with socialite Zari Hassan, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect.
Shakib revealed that he initially believed their love was strong, but he soon realized that respect was missing from their relationship.
The mistake I made was thinking that the love is mutual. No marriage can last long without respect.
Despite the fame that came with being Zari’s husband, Shakib expressed that he hasn’t gained much from the marriage. Instead, he feels disrespected by her actions and comments, which he believes disregard his mental health and emotions.
Shakib had asked her not to share such content (of Zari and Diamond Platnumz) online, as it could be used to mock him. He even pointed out that Ugandan singer Rema Namakula has never disrespected her current husband, Hamza, despite co-parenting with her ex, Eddy Kenzo.
Shakib noted that the situation worsened after these videos were posted online. Feeling frustrated, he chose to ignore Zari’s calls, leading her to accuse him publicly of being “less of a man” and not contributing to their relationship.
