"Reason (that I got the divorce letter) is I've got the Awami League nomination," the 62-year-old actress told reporters yesterday after obtaining the nomination for vying from a constituency in suburban Narayanganj.

Talking to local reporters about her future political plan at Narayanganj last evening, Kabari said her husband Shafiuddin Sarwar alias Babu Sarwar cited "lack of understanding" for severing the nuptial cord.

AL announced her name as the party candidate in the upcoming polls in the constituency in preference to former lawmaker Shamim Osman, who is the nephew of Kabari's husband.

"But actually its part of a plot, he (Babu) divorced me at the instigation of some quarters as I got the nomination," Kabari said.

Osman, however, is now on the run abroad to evade justice, as he is wanted in a number of graft and criminal cases.

Kabari holds the record of performing highest number of movies since late 1960s as the most cherished heroine of Bangla film.

Winner of a number of national and international awards, Kabari married Babu Sarwar in 1978, leaving her first husband Chitta Chowdhury.
