In a few years, socialite Zari Hassan will be clocking fifty, and this has always brought criticism to her boyfriend, Shakib, who is in his early thirties.
Shakib has responded to the criticism, saying he doesn't care much about it. He explained that to him, age doesn't matter; it's the mind he focuses on.
He explained that it's only about the love they share as a couple, and that's what he's focused on: bringing happiness to the family and Zari all the time.
"They always talk, but I don't care. I don't care about age; to me, it's people's minds that matter. What matters most is the love between the two of us, the happiness which comes along, and that's the main thing," he explained in an interview with a local television station.
Shakib believes romantic relationships should focus on the love between the two people involved and not any other thing, because loving one another is what brings them together as a couple.
