Apu Biswas Megha [4] (born 11 October 1989),[5] known by her stage name as Apu Biswas, is a Bangladeshi film actress, model and the former wife of notable Bangladeshi actor Shakib Khan.[6] Biswas made her debut in the film industry with the film Kal Shokale in 2005.

In 2006, she starred FI Manik-directed Koti Takar Kabin as the lead female opposite Shakib Khan for the first time, with whom she later acted in more than 75 films.

## Early life[edit]

Biswas was born on 11 October 1989 as Apu Biswas Megha[4] in Bogra, Bangladesh to Upendronath Bishwas (d. 2014) and Shefali Bishwas (d. 2020).[5][7] Upendronath Bishwas and Shefali Biswas had three daughters and one son, of whom Apu Biswas is the youngest.[7]

## Career[edit]

Biswas made her debut in the film industry with the film Kal Shokale in 2006.[5] She then performed in Koti Takar Kabin. Biswas played the role of Parvati in the 2013 Bangladeshi remake of Devdas.[8] She performed in the 2013 film My Name Is Khan.[9]

## Personal life[edit]

On 18 April 2008, Biswas married actor Shakib Khan.[10] The couple has a son, Abraam Khan Joy (born September 27, 2016).[11] They had kept their marriage a secret until 10 April 2017 when Apu appeared on television with her son and revealed it.[12]

Khan filed for a divorce on 22 November 2017,[13] and the couple was divorced on 22 February 2018.[14] Biswas had converted to Islam after her marriage with Khan and took the name Apu Islam Khan,[15][16][17][18] but she reportedly reverted to Hinduism after their divorce.[19]
