Singer Salma, who rose to fame after winning Closeup One, has divorced her husband, lawyer Sanaullah Noor Sagar.
The couple, who married in 2018, officially ended their marriage on November 29, after seven years together. Rumours of strain in their relationship had circulated for some time before the news became public.
Sanaullah Noor Sagar confirmed the separation in a social media post on Tuesday, January 30. “I have ended my married life with singer Salma. We have separated,” he wrote.
He added that the decision was mutual. “The only reason for the separation was differences in opinions and outlook. We ended our married life while maintaining mutual respect and dignity. I hope everyone will refrain from making negative comments about this matter.”
Salma also confirmed the divorce, saying she did not wish to discuss it further. “Yes, we have separated. The separation took place on November 29. I do not want to say anything more. I just want to focus on my singing now,” she said. “I do not want to dwell on the separation. I want to sing good songs.”
Salma rose to national prominence after winning the second edition of ‘Closeup One: Tomakei Khujchhey Bangladesh’ and has since remained a regular presence in the music scene, delivering several popular songs over the years.
This was Salma’s second marriage. She was previously married to Shibli Sadiq, a former Awami League MP from the Dinajpur-6 constituency. The couple divorced in 2016.
