Zaira was last seen in Shonali Bose’s The Sky is Pink, which also starred Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Farhan Akhtar. She had also appeared in the lead role in Advait Chandan’s blockbuster hit film Secret Superstar in 2017, which was her second film after Dangal headlined by Aamir Khan.
It was on June 30, 2019, that Zaira announced her “disassociation” from the field of acting, saying she was not happy with the line of work as it interfered with her faith and religion. In a detailed post on her Facebook page, the Kashmiri-born said she realised “though I may fit here perfectly, I do not belong here.”
