Shakib explained that he prefers to handle personal matters in silence, saying that Zari is the best person to provide further details if she wishes.

His candid reason, which he says is aimed at protecting their relationship, has sparked a new wave of conversation online.

The relationship between Shakib and Zari has been a subject of intense public scrutiny, largely due to their age difference and their high-profile status. For months, followers have observed that despite being married, Shakib did not follow Zari on her official Instagram account, a detail that fueled widespread speculation and gossip about the state of their union.

In a recent Q&A session on his social media, a curious fan asked him directly why he was not following his wife. Shakib responded with a calm and mature explanation, stating that the decision was a deliberate one aimed at preserving his peace of mind. He explained that by not following her page, he is able to avoid the constant flow of negative comments, criticism, and public drama that often accompanies Zari’s very popular posts.

The explanation has been met with a divided reaction from the public. While many have applauded his move as a wise and necessary step to protect their bond from external pressures, others remain skeptical, finding it unusual for a married couple, especially one in the public eye, to take such a measure.

Lutaaya said that he is flattered by the attention, but he also wants to encourage other men to take care of their bodies.

“I want to tell all the men out there that it’s important to take care of your bodies,” he said. “Eat healthy, exercise, and you can have a body that you’re proud of.”

Zari blasted for humiliating her husband, forced to explain herself

Netizens have condemned Zari Hassan for disparaging her husband Shakib Cham Lutaaya.

Zari is heard referring to Mr. Lutaaya as youthful, naive, and “fala,” which is loosely translated as foolish, in an audio recording that was leaked.

The entrepreneur from Uganda and South Africa has published a video criticizing UK promoter Lady Naa for disclosing the tape that was sent in trust.

She further clarified that Shakib was referred to as a “fala” in jest and that she didn’t mean it.

She criticized women who, when they disagree, release material to the media.

“I was just looking out for my husband, telling a friend or a person that I thought was a friend…And it’s always females who (do that) and she makes it look like this is the first event that I’ve done…She decided to use that voice not at the wrong timing where it was going to look bad…We were chatting, we were vibing, it wasn’t in bad faith that I was talking about my husband.

It doesn’t matter how smart you are, how many countries you go, immigration will still be immigration. 

You could get to an airport and you just start. You get sent back to where you are coming from. Everyone who travels knows, you don’t joke with immigration no matter who you are. With one slight stuttering, you get sent back.”

Shakib resigns himself to being humiliated by Zari

Following their recent foreign trip to the UK, a recording of Zari Hassan referring to her husband as clueless and lacking in confidence has made it to the man.

In the recording that was leaked and posted online on June 29, Zari claims that Shakib, her husband, behaved foolishly during their recent trip to the UK for her All-White Party.Zari expresses her shock at the man’s lack of self-assurance.

 ‘Unajua Shakbi ana panic, he is not very secure you enter the counter and they start asking questions, anapanic. Yeye mwenyewe hajiamini anakuanga na haya, anaanza kuogopa aargh,” even as she went on to call him ‘fala’.”

“Kwa ufala yake hapo hapo ndo nampendea”

Many claim that the promoter, who is upset that Zari did not show up for her event, is the source of the tape that was released.

The promoter is a Tanzanian woman named Lady Naaaaa who resides in the UK.

Shakib may have heard about this because he wrote in a cryptic message that “love will have you looking stupid.”

The couple’s reaction to the comment that was filmed on his Instagram stories will undoubtedly cause a stir.

And what was Shakib’s response?

“Love will have you looking stupid. But pride could have you miss out on something you’ll never find again!”

So yeah, he basically confirmed what we all know, he is merely Zari’s accessory.

Zari Hassan, a South African socialite, wished her husband Shakib Cham a happy Father’s Day on Sunday, June 19, 2023. In her message, she acknowledged his first child from a previous relationship and expressed her desire to make him a father of two.

“Happy Father’s Day to my king, father of one. Hope we make it two, inshallah,” Hassan wrote on Instagram.

Hassan has four children from previous relationships: two sons and two daughters. Cham has one son from a previous relationship.
