As
A
Shocker
To

Tiwari
Nitesh
told
Mid-day,
"I
read
about
it
in
this
afternoon,
and
it
came
as
a
shock
to
me.
This
was
unexpected,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
is
her
life
and
she
has
the
right
to
lead
it
the
way
she
[deems

Speaking
about
her
impressive
audition

Dangal,
he
said,
"She
was
chosen
for
reasons
best
known
to
all
of
us.
There's
a
sense
of
loss
because
Zaira
is
an
extremely
talented
actress."
'No
One
Has
The
Right
To
Pass
Judgement,'
Says
Nitesh
Tiwari
"Zaira
and
I
lost
touch
post
Dangal.
We
briefly
met
during
award
shows.
Her
reasons
are
best
known
to
her.
She
must
have
thought
about
it
and
taken
the
step.
None
of
us
has
the
right
to
pass
judgment
on
what
she
has
decided."

An
Official
Statement
It
read,
"Zaira
is
an
exceptional
artiste
and
we
are
lucky
to
have
had
her
play
Aisha
Chaudhury
in
our

She
has
been
a
complete
professional
all
through
the
shoot.
This
is
a
purely
personal
decision,
which
she
has
taken
after
much
thought
and
we
will
support
her
in
every
way,
now
and
