Celebrity couple Tahsan Khan and Rafiath Rashid Mithila have announced their divorce and apologised to their fans.
The singer-model couple said on Thursday they failed to reconcile their ‘differences.’
Their love blossomed into marriage in 2006 and they have a four-year-old daughter.
“It is with heavy hearts that we would like to jointly announce that we are getting divorced,” reads joint statement posted on Tahsan’s official Facebook page.
“After several months of trying to reconcile our differences, we have decided that we would rather go separate ways than be in a relationship out of social pressure.”
“We realise that this probably comes as a shock to a lot of you and we wholeheartedly apologise about that.”
“We have always conducted our relationship with dignity and grace, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner,” they said.
“We hope you will all treat us both with kindness during this difficult phase of our lives.”
Tahsan was an IBA student while Mithila was a political science student from Dhaka University with a family background in the media.
They first met in 2004 and love blossomed in the university campus. The couple tied the knot on August 3, 2006.
Tahsan reached stardom initially through the band Black and went on to become a successful solo singer.
Mithila is a well-known model and has appeared in ads for Merril, Bajaj, Close up and Aktel.
