Actor Khairul Basar Confirms Past Relationship With Sadia Ayman and Explains On-Screen Hiatus

Popular television actors Khairul Basar and Sadia Ayman have confirmed that they previously shared a romantic relationship, putting to rest years of industry speculation. The revelation was made by Basar during a recent podcast appearance, marking the first time the actor has publicly addressed the long-rumored union.
Basar stated that the couple first met while working on a television commercial, well before they established themselves as a frequent on-screen pair in teleplays. That professional acquaintance eventually evolved into a private relationship, which Basar confirmed has since ended. While the actor declined to disclose the specific reasons for the breakup, he noted that they had previously kept the relationship private to protect its integrity, often dismissing public inquiries as mere rumors.
The dissolution of their relationship notably impacted their professional collaboration. After frequently starring together in projects during the post-pandemic period, the duo’s joint on-screen appearances saw a sharp decline, sparking curiosity among their fanbase. Basar clarified that the decision to stop working together was a mutual agreement reached to ensure the comfort of both parties.
The actor explained that while they acknowledge the audience’s continued desire to see them perform together, maintaining a professional environment became difficult following the end of their personal relationship. According to Basar, stepping away from collaborative projects was necessary for both of them to function naturally and maintain their well-being.
During their peak as an on-screen pair, Basar and Ayman gained significant popularity for their performances in several well-received dramas, including “Dub Shatar,” “Babui Pakhir Basha,” “Jolotorang,” “Doi Fuchka,” and “The First Case.” Despite the public interest in their chemistry, the actors remain committed to their decision to work independently for the foreseeable future.
