Politics
When Talukder Abdul Khaleque, Member of Parliament for Bagerhat-3, resigned from parliament in April 2018 to run for mayor of Khulna,[5] Khan considered contesting the resulting by-election as an independent candidate. He decided against a run, however, and Habibun Nahar, Khaleque's wife, was elected unopposed.[6]
Khan sought the Awami League nomination for the seat in the December 2018 general election, but the party gave the nod to the incumbent.[7][8]
Film career
Khan went on to perform in films Paharadar, Biyer Phul, Narir Mon, Koshto, and Abujh Bou, among others.
Khan wed actress Jona, his co-star in the 2002 film Hridoyer Bashi, but the marriage did not last long.[9]
