Mukit regarding the ‘hot paratha’ incident riles up netizens

Small-screen actor Mukit Zakaria often makes headlines not just for his acting, but also for his comments on various issues. Recently, he faced criticism on social media after sharing an anecdote about eating hot parathas at 4AM while his wife was ill.

In a recent interview, Mukit Zakaria recounted the experience, saying, "At 4AM, I said, 'Hey hon, I want to eat parathas.' She made and served me hot parathas, despite running around with a 102-degree fever. Alhamdulillah."

This comment sparked a flurry of discussion. Netizens questioned the humanity of having someone suffering from a 102-degree fever cook a meal at 4AM.

One netizen wrote, "How shameless must a person be to not care that his wife has a 102-degree fever, yet brag about eating parathas made by her in that condition!"

Another commented, "He had his wife, suffering from a 102-degree fever, make parathas at 4AM and is now boasting about it. And to think, these people call themselves artists!"

Meanwhile, another person remarked, "How could he even crave parathas when his wife had a 102-degree fever? And even if he did crave them, how could he ask her to make them? He should have eaten poison instead of parathas."

Notably, Mukit Zakaria gained popularity through television commercials before venturing into acting. Filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki played a pivotal role in introducing him to the advertising world. Alongside acting in TV dramas and telefilms, Mukit Zakaria also began appearing in feature films.
