Dangal actress Zaira Wasim quit showbiz in 2019. She wanted to connect with her god and claimed Bollywood was creating a hindrance in the process. The former star has been away from the limelight but often spreads her spiritual knowledge via social media. A user recently questioned a woman eating food while wearing her niqab. Below is how she reacted to the controversy.
Back in 2020, Zaira had requested her fans to take down all her pictures from social media because she was trying to start a new life. She was last seen in The Sky Is Pink and bid goodbye to Bollywood as it allegedly created conflicts with her beliefs and faith. Nonetheless, she is pretty active on Twitter, with a massive following of 306.5K.
