In a detailed post on her Facebook page, which she later shared across all social media platforms, the Kashmiri-born “Dangal” fame star said she realised “though I may fit here perfectly, I do not belong here”.

Former bureaucrat-turned-politician Shah Faesal said he respected Wasim’s decision and wished her luck.

I always respected @ZairaWasimmm‘s decision to be an actor. Perhaps no other Kashmiri has achieved such an iconic status, such success and fame, at such a young age. And today, as she quit the industry, I have no choice but to respect her decision. Wish her luck. — Shah Faesal (@shahfaesal) June 30, 2019
