During the interview, Mukit recalled an incident, stating, "At 4 AM, I said, 'Wife, I want to eat parathas,' and my wife cooked and served me hot parathas despite having a 102-degree fever. Alhamdulillah." The actor's statement quickly went viral, provoking widespread indignation among social media users who questioned the humanity and empathy of demanding hot meals from a bedridden spouse in the middle of the night. Netizens expressed shock and disappointment, accusing the actor of showing off patriarchal insensitivity and glorifying spousal neglect under the guise of familial devotion. Mukit Zakaria, who initially rose to fame through television commercials directed by Mostofa Sarwar Farooki before transitioning into mainstream television dramas, telefilms, and feature films, has yet to issue an official clarification regarding the online uproar.
