Four years after she burst into Bollywood, Zaira Wasim announced that she would no longer be a part of the establishment. While she explained in clear terms that her decision was her own choice, there was tremendous hue and cry, both for and against her decision.
“She’s ungrateful to Bollywood. She’s been brainwashed. She’s choosing religion over art,” the arguments go on ad infinitum.
