However, Shakib’s mother is okay and doing fine. Both his father and mother are staying in Magura.

Shakib who is in USA with his family regularly keeps contact with his parents, said Mshrur Reza.

“I’ve been in isolation in another room in our Magua house. Shakib has been in contact with me regularly and told me not to be tensed,” Mashrur Reza said.
