Twiiter has been trending with #ZairaWasim ever since the news came out.
#ZairaWasim ‘s decision to dissociate with film industry (‘because it interferes with her faith’) should be understood and respected as much as Nusrat Jahan’s Sindoor-Bindi.

That did not make Nusrat immoral as this does not make Zaira more moral.
*Freedom to choose is supreme*
Dear #ZairaWasim I respect your decision of quitting movies. I don't agree with the reasons that you've given. I think you're an incredible actress and you can do so much more with your career.

Oh My Goosebumps! Bollywood’s talented actress Zaria Wasim now wants to quit acting because she thinks her acting career almost destroyed her faith in Allah. What a moronic decision! So many talents in Muslim community are forced to go under the darkness of the burqa.

1 nation , 1 religion and 2 perspectives.
One showed regressiveness of her community ,beliefs n thoughts
And the other, though from the same community, is being praised for living the true Indian spirit without 'Damaging her relationship with Allah' pic.twitter.com/oBGy4XPg58
#ZairaWasim: Acting has affected my relation with Allah

While everyone understands that her career choices are a personal thing, it becomes a point of conversation when religion is brought into it. What are your thoughts on the same?
