Sahar Afsha, an Indian actress who became famous for her roles in Tamil and Bhojpuri films, has announced to quit the entertainment industry on account of her religious belief.
Bhojpuri actress Sahar Afsha has shared this info from her Instagram account.
She is not the first actress to value her faith over the film industry. Earlier, actresses Zaira Wasim and Sana Khan also left the entertainment industry, expressing inclination to become devote Muslims.
The Maitri actress, in her social media post, said that she wanted to live her life according to the teachings of Islam.
“I want to tell you all that I have decided to leave showbiz and I will not be associated with it anymore,” She wrote “Inshallah, I intend to live the next life according to teachings of Islam and the rules of Allah. I beg pardon from Allah for whatever way I have lived my life in the past.”

Sahar Afsha further said that her entrance in showbiz industry was coincident.
“Even after getting grand success and wealth, I was not content. Because I did not dream of this kind of life even in my childhood. It was all by accident that I came into this industry and kept marching ahead. But now I have decided to end this all. I intend to spend the rest of my life according to the orders of Allah. I request you all wish that Allah bestows me an honest life. I expect that I shall be known to this world not by the life I have lived so far, but by the life I will live hereafter.” Sahar Afsha added.
Asking people to prayer for her, she hoped that people will not remember her for what she did in the past life but for her next life.
Earlier, Indian actresses Sana Khan and Zaira Waseem also left the industry to live their lives according to Islamic teachings.
As Sahar Afsha shared the news on Instagram, Sana Khan congratulated her on the decision.
“MashAllah my sister so happy for you. May Allah give u[you] isteqamah in every step of your life May u[you] inspire everyone around you and become zariya e khair for mankind,” Khan wrote in the comment section.
It is notable that actress Zaira Wasim quit acting in June 2019 citing her religious commitment to Islam. In October 2020, actress Sana Khan left showbiz citing her love for Allah. Now Sahar Afsha has announced that she is also leaving the film industry for similar reasons.
Pakistani singer Abdullah Qureshi also took a similar decision recently, as he announced on the 6th of October 2022 that he has quit the music industry for Islam.
