'Dangal' actress Zaira Wasim dropped a shocker yesterday when she announced that she is bidding goodbye to her career in Bollywood. In a long Facebook post, the actress confessed that she took this decision as she wasn't happy with her line of work and felt that her relationship with her religion has been threatened.
Meanwhile, Zaira's decision to dissociate herself from films received mixed reactions on social media. While some welcomed her decision, others criticized her decision to quit the film industry.
An Excerpt From Zaira's Facebook Post
The actress wrote, "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. As I complete 5 years today, I want to confess that I am not truly happy with this identity, that is, my line of work. For a very long time now it has felt like I have struggled to become someone else."
