“This to clarify that none of my social media accounts were or are hacked and are being handled by me personally. Kindly refrain from believing or sharing claims that state otherwise! Thanks,” Zaira posted on Twitter.
The post came a day after the “Dangal” and “Secret Superstar” actress said she had decided to say goodbye to her film career as she felt her relationship with her religion was threatened.

Her announcement was received with mixed reactions by the industry.
Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who was in Delhi on Monday for a film promotion event, said he felt “sad” when he read Zaira’s post.
“I think it’s a tragedy that a 16-17 year old girl has to take a decision like that. I do respect her sentiments and I respect that it is her individual choice. But as a person, I feel sad that a 16-17 year old girl has to take a decision like this in her flourishing career.
