Zaira Wasim became an immediate sensation after making her debut in the 2016 film Dangal. Her performance as young wrestler Geeta Phogat in the Aamir Khan-starring film, which became one of the biggest hits in Indian cinema history, enthralled both critics and viewers at the age of 16.

She began what looked to be an incredible career when she won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her emotional depth and natural on-screen presence.

Zaira followed it up with another highly praised performance in Advait Chandan's 2017 film Secret Superstar.

Co-starring Aamir Khan, Meher Vij, and Raj Arjun, the musical drama followed a teenage girl who, despite social and familial constraints, was determined to follow her dream of singing. She became one of Bollywood's most promising young talents with a performance that was equal parts fierce and fragile.

However, Zaira made a decision that shocked the film industry just when it appeared that her career would never end. She made the decision to leave the spotlight and concentrate on her spiritual and religious path by announcing her retirement from acting in 2019.

“I want to confess that I am not truly happy with this identity, that is, my line of work. For a very long time now it has felt like I have struggled to become someone else,” she wrote in a heartfelt Facebook post, explaining that acting no longer aligned with her faith or personal beliefs.

Her decision sparked widespread conversation — some praising her courage to follow her heart, others expressing sadness over the loss of such a promising artist. But Zaira remained steadfast, later sharing another reflective note where she acknowledged the dangers of fame and admiration.

“While I acknowledge with humility all the love people shower me with, I cannot emphasise 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,” she wrote.
