Actress Zaira Wasim was lauded for her acting in Dangal which was followed by her shocking statement saying that she is quitting movies as they are interfering in her faith and religion. The 19-year-old was seen later on in The Sky is Pink with Farhan Akhtar and Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
The teenager on 18th April asked people on her social media account to stop praising her as it is dangerous for her faith or belief. She said that people should not shower this much love on her as she does not deserve all of it.
She posted “While I acknowledge with humility all the love people shower me with. I cannot emphasise enough how the praise that comes my way isn’t gratifying at all for me and how big of a test it is for me and how dangerous it is for my Iman. I’m not as righteous as I might lead many to believe.”
She further added, “I’m not as righteous as I might lead many to believe. Instead, I urge everyone to not praise me in any manner but pray that Allah overlooks my shortcomings-which are too many to count, and fills the void in my heart with the light of His Mercy, Taqwa and increases me in Iman, rectifies my intentions and grants me the knowledge that is beneficial and a heart and tongue that remembers Him at all times and turns to Him often in repentance, and allow me to perform righteous deeds only for His sake, allow me to remain steadfast and cause me to live and die as a Muslim (wholly submitting to Him) Jazakum Allahu Khayran.”
The actress has not signed any film recently.
