Former actress Zaira Wasim has urged people not to praise her. According to Zaira, this is not right for her and is also dangerous for her faith. She has shared a post related to it on social media. In this, she has insisted that she is not so religious that people can be influenced by her.
Zaira wrote:
‘While I acknowledge with humility all the love people shower me with, I cannot emphasize enough how the praise that comes my way isn’t gratifying at all for me and how big of a test it is for me and how dangerous it is for my Iman. I’m not as righteous as I might lead many to believe. Instead, I urge everyone to not praise me in any manner but pray that Allah overlooks my shortcomings-which are too many to count, and fills the void in my heart with the light of His Mercy, Taqwa and increases me in Iman, rectifies my intentions and grants me knowledge that is beneficial and a heart and tongue that remembers Him at all times and turns to Him often in repentance, and allow me to perform righteous deeds only for His sake, allow me to remain steadfast and cause me to live and die as a Muslim (wholly submitting to Him) Jazakum Allahu Khayran’
Zaira has worked in ‘Dangal‘, ‘Secret Superstar‘ and ‘The Sky is Pink‘ as an actress. In June 2019, she retired from acting. Zaira shared a post on other social media platforms, including Facebook, which wrote, “I did not feel happy working in this area, as it was interfering with my religious beliefs.”
