Zarinah Hassan, popularly known as Zari, has spoken out about a video showing her husband, Shakib Lutaaya, getting close to an unidentified woman.
In a video shared online, the socialite expressed no surprise, saying men often mistreat women who have sacrificed everything for them.
“Men will leave you in a desert with no water... That’s it...
"There’s nothing between me and Shakib that you don’t know. You will be there for a man and do everything for him, and then one morning, he wakes up and shows you the worst,” she said, appearing emotional."
“At least he has shown us our new woman.”
Zari, who is currently in South Africa and observing Ramadan, said her faith teaches gratitude, but she admitted the situation is painful.
She, however, suggested that Allah might be revealing something through it.
Despite previous challenges, the couple recently appeared to be on good terms.
Zari and Shakib tied the knot in a lavish wedding in South Africa in 2023.
In a recent interview, Zari explained their decision to maintain a long-distance marriage.
Zari resides in South Africa, where she runs her businesses and raises her children, while Shakib lives in Uganda.
She believes their physical separation keeps the relationship exciting.
“If we live together, I will be bored of you. I will get tired of seeing you every day. It’s nice when I am looking forward to seeing you,” she previously said in an interview.

She also noted that living apart helps her balance her busy lifestyle, which includes managing her businesses and social engagements.
Last year, the couple had a public fallout, with Shakib accusing Zari of disrespect. She later apologised, and they seemed to have reconciled.
However, with this latest development, their relationship appears to be on shaky ground again.
