KARACHI: Pakistani model and actress Zainab Jamil has announced that she will be quitting the showbiz industry to learn more about Islam.
In an Instagram post today (Monday), the 31-year-old charming lady said, “I proudly announce that I won’t be continuing my career as actor and model.”
“Allah has chosen me to become a student of Quran and Hadees and learn more about our deen Islam,” she added. The actress received massive applause from her admirers as she thanked Allah Almighty for giving her the privilege of studying Islamic books.
Later, in a detailed explanation, Zainab said, “I’m late I should have made this announcement a lot earlier but maybe I was not ready or I was in search of few answers actually now it’s been 3 years that I am studying Quran with Tafseer.
Zainab further shared that she was not satisfied with her choice of career. “With all due respect to those who are working in this field, I am not hurting anyone’s feelings to work as an actor but we all are different so this is my different,” she added.
“I really want to thank the producers and people whom I was in contract to work with and thank you all for understanding me and letting me drop the projects I signed,” she concluded.
Zainab has been part of many multi-starrer projects including Khawab Saraye alongside Muneeb Butt, Aiman Khan, Behroze Sabzwari, and Khalid Anam. Earlier, Rabi Pirzada, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ali Afzal, and Noor Bukhari had quit the industry on religious grounds.
