Why did Zaira Wasim leave acting?
Zaira Wasim’s journey in Bollywood was brief but impactful. Her breakout role as young Geeta Phogat in Aamir Khan’s Dangal turned her into a household name almost overnight. It also earned her the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress. The following year, in 2017, she starred in Aamir Khan’s Secret Superstar. Her final screen appearance came in The Sky Is Pink (2019), alongside Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar.
Then, in June 2019, at the peak of her career, Zaira took everyone by surprise when she announced she was stepping away from acting, citing her religious beliefs. A part of her 6-page long Instagram note read: “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.”
Reflecting later on her relationship with fame, she added, “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.”
Zaira Wasim, since her announcement, has largely remained away from the public eye.
