Zaira's decision to quit acting was received with surprise and remorse even by the people from different walks of life.

On Sunday, Zaira posted a lengthy statement stating the reasons behind her decision to quit Bollywood. The18-year-old said she is not happy with her current line of work, which has silently and unconsciously transitioned her "out of Imaan".
