Zaira Wasim kick-started her career in Bollywood with Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’. The National Award-winning actor completed five years in the profession. Later on, she confessed that she was not happy with the work.
She announced her bold decision to quit the acting field, saying she was not at all pleased with her acting profession as it interfered with her faith and religion.
In a detailed post on her Facebook page, which she explained clearly, she realised “though I may fit here perfectly, I do not belong here”. She later shared it across all social media platforms.
“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 said in the lengthy post.
“The source code that governed and impacted my perceptions evolved into a different dimension. Success isn’t correlated with our biased, delusional and conventional shallow measures of life. Success is the accomplishment of the purpose of our creation. We have forgotten the purpose we were created for as we ignorantly continue to pass through our lives; deceiving our conscience,” she said.
