It was yesterday when Dangal actress Zaira Wasim announced that she is quitting Bollywood as it was taking her away from her religion. Her decision has come as a shock to many and a lot of Bollywood celebs have reacted to it. However, there were reports that Zaira’s manager has stated that the post was not done by the actress and her account was hacked.
But, Zaira took to Twitter to clarify that her account was not hacked. The actress tweeted, “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.”

Even her manager, Tuhin Mishra gave a statement about it. Mishra told a news agency, “We have never said that her account was hacked. We just said that we would definitely like to know what has happened. And the post was done by her.”
Zaira, who rose to fame with her performances in movies like Dangal and Secret Superstar, on Sunday wrote a long post on Facebook which read, “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.”
She also wrote, “This field indeed brought a lot of love, support, and applause my way, but what it also did was to lead me to a path of ignorance, as I silently and unconsciously transitioned out of ‘imaan’ (faith). While I continued to work in an environment that consistently interfered with my ‘imaan’, my relationship with my religion was threatened.”
Zaira will next be seen in The Sky Is Pink which also stars Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar in the lead roles.
