Shilpi Samity suspends Zayed Khan

Actor Zayed Khan’s membership in the Bangladesh Film Artists Association was suspended during a meeting held on Sunday at the FDC premises.

According to Simon Sadiq, the reason behind this suspension was Zayed Khan’s remarks against the constitution and the president and general secretary of the Bangladesh Film Artists Association on various platforms.

Simon stated, “He had taken oath from the president of the current committee on a fake paper and had made false and insulting statements against the current general secretary of the committee in various media, which goes against the constitution of the organisation. We sent him a letter requesting him to respond to these allegations as per the constitution, but he did not respond within the given timeframe.”

In response to the letter, Zayed Khan wrote, “I did not receive the notice on time as I was out of the country from February 19 to March 6. During that time, you sent me an illegal notice referring to yourself as the General Secretary of the Bangladesh Film Artists Association. I received it on March 31. However, I have replied to the notice.”
