Pakistani actor-cum-model Zainab Jamil has shared that she has decided to leave the showbiz industry, following her religious calling. The 31-year-old actor broke the news on her Instagram account, saying: “I am proud to announce that I have quit acting and modelling.”
She further added that she received massive applause from her admirers as she thanked Allah Almighty for giving her “the privilege of studying the Islamic books.”
Jamil went on to add, “I will now live my life according to Islamic teachings and get the most out of Islam.” The actor, in a separate Instagram post, shared, “I’m overwhelmed with emotions after the response you people have shown I can’t explain in words how thankful I am after reading your messages the love and support from you mean a lot. Need prayers to keep following this path with istiqamat.”
Jamil has worked in several dramas such as Sada Sukhi Raho, Susral Meri Bahen Ka and Manchli. Her announcement comes weeks after, model Anam Malik’s decision to the world of modelling for the sake of religion.
