Zaira Wasim’s decision to quit Bollywood garners mixed response on Twitter
I respect space to make a choice to either join or leave films. But i am deeply disturbed at the indoctrination of religious conservatism - any religion-in that choice being made. Thus Choice is sometimes a complicated word. For women, especially.

It is sad to see a young adult throw away a promising career and her decision to do so being rooted in religion. We need more Zairas to break away from the clutches of religion and become successful individuals, and not the other way round.

I always respected 's decision to be an actor.
Perhaps no other Kashmiri has achieved such an iconic status, such success and fame, at such a young age.
And today, as she quit the industry, I have no choice but to respect her decision.
Wish her luck.AdvertisementTribune Web DeskChandigarh, July 1Actress Zaira Wasim’s decision to quit Bollywood has received a mixed response on Twitter.In a detailed post on her Facebook page on Sunday, the 18-year-old Kashmiri-born actor said she had completed five years in the profession and wanted to confess that she was not "truly happy with this identity", that is her line of work.Actress Raveena Tandon said that the manner in which Wasim quit “condemned” other actresses.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.

I have Hindu & Jain friends right here in SoBo who renounced cushy careers for their gurus & faith.
You can choose whether religion determines your career or love life. Unless minors, let others decide for themselvesAdvertisement
