Actress Quits Acting On Religious Grounds

Movie lovers cannot forget the performance of Kashmiri actress Zaira Wasim who impressed all with her performance in Mr Perfectionist Amir Khan's super hit film Dangal. Zaira starred as young Geeta Phogat in the film which won national award.

Zaira who won national award for the best supporting actress went on to star in Amir Khan's another hit film Secret Super Star. However much to the shock of all, she announced her retirement from the profession citing religious reasons.

She stated, "Five years ago, I made a decision that changed my life forever. As I stepped my foot in Bollywood, it opened doors of massive popularity for me. I started to become the prime candidate of public attention, I was projected as the gospel of the idea of success and was often identified as a role model for the youth. However, that's never something that I set out to do or become, especially with regards to my ideas of success and failure, which I had just started to explore and understand."

Zaira Wasim revealed that her profession is ‘threatening’ her religion and Imaan (a Muslim’s steadfast path in Allah’s devotion).
