The love story of Subarna Khan, a young woman from the former Laukhola area of Mulna Union in Jajira Upazila, Shariatpur, and Saleman, a citizen of Dubai, has become a major topic of discussion across the locality. Their relationship, which began despite differences in nationality and culture, is now entering a new chapter as they are set to be officially married on Monday, June 15.
According to family sources, after a long period of acquaintance and mutual affection, the marriage has been arranged with the consent of both families. The bride’s home is filled with festive celebrations, with relatives, neighbors, and well-wishers gathering to mark the occasion.
Sources say that around two years ago, Subarna traveled to the United Arab Emirates for work. She first met Saleman at a park in Abu Dhabi, where a friendship gradually developed into a deep romantic relationship. Eventually, the couple decided to spend their lives together and informed their families, who later agreed to the marriage and finalized the wedding arrangements.
Local sources also stated that Saleman was previously married and is the father of three children. It is understood that Subarna and her family were fully aware of this before agreeing to the marriage, and the wedding has been organized with the informed consent of both families.
The couple’s traditional gaye holud (turmeric ceremony) was held on Sunday night, June 14. Extensive preparations have been made for Monday’s wedding ceremony, with family members saying that approximately 2,000 guests are expected to attend and enjoy a grand feast. Since morning, the bride’s residence has been buzzing with celebration.
Subarna said, “I love him, and he loves me. This marriage is taking place with the full consent of both of us, and both families have also given their approval. Please keep us in your prayers.”
Meanwhile, Saleman declined to speak publicly with the media, explaining that he is professionally associated with the Dubai police and prefers not to discuss personal matters in public.
The wedding has generated significant interest among local residents, many of whom view it as a unique cross-cultural love story. At the same time, they expressed hopes for the bride’s happiness, security, and a successful married life.
One local resident commented, “Our only wish is that the girl lives a happy life. Since this marriage has the approval of both families, we sincerely wish the couple all the best for their future together.”
After a journey that began in Dubai and has now reached Jajira, the couple’s love story is entering a new phase. Residents have extended their warm wishes to the newlyweds, hoping that their relationship—built across two different countries and cultures—will become a lasting example of mutual respect, trust, and love.
