Zaira Wasim announced that she was quitting her acting career in 2019, disappointing many viewers.
In a lengthy Facebook post, she had written: “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.
“I want to confess that I am not truly happy with this identity, i.e., my line of work.
“As I had just started to explore and make sense of the things to which I dedicated my time, efforts and emotions and tried to grab hold of a new lifestyle, it was only for me to realise that though I may fit here perfectly, I do not belong here.”
