Mumbai: After quitting acting in 2019, Zaira Wasim shared her first picture on social media. She had said that acting interfered with her religion. On Instagram, the former actress posted a photo of herself on a bridge. In the picture, her face isn’t visible because her back is facing the camera.
Zaira Wasim had earlier asked her fan pages to remove her photos from social media. On October 5, she posted a photo of herself soaking up the sun. She wrote on Instagram, ‘The warm October sun (sic).’
Zaira Wasim announced on Facebook in June 2019 that she had quit her acting because of religious reasons. While she may have fit in perfectly, she realized that she didn’t belong here. ‘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,’ Wasim wrote in the lengthy post.
