New Delhi: It was only a few weeks ago when young Kashmiri actress Zaira Wasim said that she had decided to quit the film industry as her "relationship with my religion was threatened". Director Nitesh Tiwari, who introduced her to the industry with his blockbuster Dangal, sees her decision as an unfortunate one but says it's completely her call. Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Zaira Wasim’s The Sky Is Pink to Premiere at Toronto International Film Festival 2019

Zaira became famous overnight after starring in the 2016 film. Her announcement came as a shock to many. "She has every right to live her life the way she wants to. It's unfortunate (her decision to quit films)... such a talented actress is walking away, but yeah we have to live with it," Tiwari told IANS here. Kangana Ranaut On Zaira Wasim’s Bollywood Exit Says ‘Religion Is Not to Disempower’
