Bollywood star quits show business citing Islamic faith

MUMBAI - A Bollywood actress who starred in India's highest-grossing movie said she is quitting acting because it is incompatible with her Islamic faith, sparking a social media storm.

"This field indeed brought a lot of love... my way, but what it also did was to lead me to a path of ignorance, as I silently and unconsciously transitioned out of imaan ," she wrote on Instagram. She won a National Film Award for her role as an aspiring female wrestler, and the film went on to become India's highest-grossing movie. It also enjoyed massive success in China.

There are far fewer Muslim actresses however - in particular from the divided Kashmir region - and some social media users took to Twitter to criticise Wasim for invoking Islam as her reason for stepping away from acting. "Are others in the field some kind of sinners? This dawning of new reality should be her own truth & her own interpretation of religion. Period," he wrote."It's her life to do with as she pleases. All I will do is wish her well & hope that whatever she does makes her happy," tweeted former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah.
