Zaira Wasim Row: From Kangana Ranaut’s Sister Rangoli To Dangal Director Nitesh Tiwari – Industry REACTS!

18-year-old actress Zaira Wasim who made her debut with Aamir Khan’s Dangal made an announcement yesterday which left the Industry along with her fans baffled. She quit Bollywood and the reason behind it was barrier that it was causing to her religion. Several actors like Raveena Tandon, film-makers Nitesh Tiwari, Nikhil Dwivedi, Vivek Agnihotri, Onir amongst others put out their opinion and here’s how they feel about it.

Rangoli Chandel:

Peopel should stop lashing out at Zaira Wasim and try and understand her inner conflicts, what is a kid supposed to do if a religion forbids you from singing, dancing, imitating or depicting life? Rather than bullying her we must understand her dilemma…in Hinduism especially Bhakti is all filled with devotional songs and dances, Kathak was a dance form for temples, Mugals brought it to darbars…(contd)

…we need to understand in Hinduism we need not follow any God we can form a God of our choice which is called Isht Devta which means Personal God, today’s day and age we need to personalise realigion and not follow what was established thousands years ago

Raveena Tandon:

Raveena had earlier put a post that said “Doesn’t matter if two film olds are ungrateful to the industry that have given them all.” Later on, when several more netizens put their opinion, Tandon further requoted a tweet and wrote, “I respect her decision to quit, announce to her fans, her life, her choice. would’ve been more graceful if she had not condemned all as the reason for doing so.discovering spirituality is beautiful,but don’t demean others. When girls in industry are wronged, I’m the first to protest.”

Onir:

It’s someone’s right to choose what profession one finds happiness in. Wish the decision did not have to be accompanied with a sermon on “good way of life” #ZairaWasim. The opposite is a huge struggle for many who are prevented to make the choice citing the idea as anti religion
