On Wednesday (September 3), posting the two looks, Shakib wrote:“The lessons, ups and downs of the last 11 years have made me stronger. I never gave up, because every mistake taught me something. I never fell behind, because every failure built me up. When the world said ‘you can’t,’ I said ‘watch me.’ Time tested me again and again, but I didn’t stop. Along this journey, I’ve discovered myself—and that story is still going on… each chapter feels like a new me.”
