Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association has announced the suspension of Zayed Khan's membership today. However, the cancellation decision will be taken after talking to the advisors and lawyers of the artists association, soon.

The organisation initially suspended Zayed Khan's membership for making derogatory remarks in the name of the opposition, president and general secretary of the association.

"Most of the executive members of the Film Artistes' Association have expressed their opinion regarding the suspension of his membership. In the future, a decision may be taken to cancel his membership after talking to the advisors and lawyers of the artistes' association," informed Symon Sadik, the Joint General Secretary.

Earlier, the membership of famous actress Sucharita and actor Rubel was temporarily suspended by the association.

Many feared that Zayed Khan would lose his membership after losing the post of General Secretary of the Film Artistes Association in a legal battle. Finally, a year after Ilias Kanchan and Nipun took charge, this happened.

Zayed served as the General Secretary of the association for two terms previously.
