Popular Bangladeshi actress Yamin Haque Bobby has publicly condemned recent social media reports and news coverage linking her to Mirza Abul Bashar Mamun, a film producer and businessman recently arrested on charges of multi-million taka fraud. The actress broke her silence on Monday at the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (FDC) to categorically deny claims that she is married to the suspect.

Addressing the media, Bobby described the reports as entirely false and expressed deep frustration regarding the impact the misinformation has had on her family. She emphasized that her relatives, who reside abroad, have been significantly distressed by the unfounded allegations. Questioning the motives behind the reports, the actress expressed indignation that media outlets labeled the businessman as her husband without any verification, rather than describing him as an acquaintance or a professional contact.

The actress clarified that her interactions with the suspect’s company were strictly professional. She explained that it is common for business entities to request photographs or offer hospitality when an artist visits their office for work-related engagements. Bobby asserted that these professional images have been maliciously manipulated to suggest a personal relationship, labeling the narrative as a fabrication designed to capitalize on her public profile.

Highlighting the ethical obligations of the press, Bobby criticized the lack of verification in the reporting process. She urged journalists to consider the profound psychological and social consequences that irresponsible coverage can inflict on an individual’s personal life. The actress issued a public challenge, stating that she would meet any demand from those making the claims if they could provide credible evidence to support the existence of such a marriage, noting that no proof exists because the relationship is non-existent.

The controversy stems from the arrest of Mirza Abul Bashar, who was taken into custody by Gulshan police during a late-night raid on June 19. According to the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), the businessman faces extensive allegations of fraud and misappropriation of funds, including scams involving job placements, business investments, vehicle sales, and livestock trading. The arrest was formally confirmed by the DMP during a press briefing at their media center on June 20.
