Putting to rest all the speculations, the manager of ZairaWasim on Monday said the actor’s social media accounts were not hacked and thatshe shared the posts herself.

We have never said that her account was hacked. We just saidthat we would definitely like to know what has happened. And the post was doneby her,” Tuhin Mishra, manager of Zaira Wasim was quoted as having said by ANInews agency.

   

In a detailed post on her Facebook page, which she latershared across all social media platforms, the Kashmiri-born “Dangal” fame starsaid she realised “though I may fit here perfectly, I do not belong here”.

“Five years ago I made a decision that changed my lifeforever. As I stepped my foot in Bollywood, it opened doors of massivepopularity for me. I started to become the prime candidate of public attention,I was projected as the gospel of the idea of success and was often identifiedas a role model for the youth.

“However, that’s never something that I set out to do orbecome, especially with regards to my ideas of success and failure, which I hadjust started to explore and understand,” Wasim said in the lengthy post.

The 18-year-old actor said as she completed five years inthe profession, she wanted to “confess that I am not truly happy with thisidentity i.e my line of work”.

“For a very long time now it has felt like I have struggledto become someone else. As I had just started to explore and make sense of thethings to which I dedicated my time, efforts and emotions and tried to grabhold of a new lifestyle, it was only for me to realise that though I may fithere perfectly, I do not belong here.

“This field indeed brought a lot of love, support, andapplause my way, but what it also did was to lead me to a path of ignorance, asI silently and unconsciously transitioned out of ‘imaan’ (faith). While Icontinued to work in an environment that consistently interfered with my’imaan’, my relationship with my religion was threatened,” she said.

Wasim said as she continued to “ignorantly pass through”while trying to convince herself that what she was doing was okay and was notreally affecting her, “I lost all the ‘Barakah’ (blessing) from my life”.

 “I was constantlybattling with my soul to reconcile my thoughts and instincts to fix a staticpicture of my ‘imaan’ and I failed miserably, not just once but a hundredtimes…

 “I kept procrastinatingby tricking and deluding my conscience into the idea that I know what I amdoing doesn’t feel right but assumed that I will put an end to this wheneverthe time feels right and I continued to put myself in a vulnerable positionwhere it was always so easy to succumb to the environment that damaged mypeace, ‘imaan’ and my relationship with Allah (God),” she said.

Talking about her life as an actor, she said she continuedto observe things and twist her perceptions as she wanted them to be, withoutreally understanding that the key was to see them as they were.

 “In the great anddivine wisdom of the Quran, I found sufficiency and peace. Indeed the heartsfind peace when it acquires the knowledge of Its Creator, His Attributes, HisMercy and His commandments,” she added.

Wasim said she began to heavily rely upon Allah’s mercy forhelp and guidance instead of valuing her own believability.

“I discovered my lack of knowledge of the basic fundamentalsof my religion and how my inability to reinforce a change earlier was a resultof confusing my heart’s contentment and well being with strengthening andsatisfying my own (shallow and worldly) desires,” she said.

The actor, who made her big Bollywood debut oppositesuperstar Aamir Khan in 2016, said she questioned the deepest sources of herideas of success, meaning and the purpose of her life.

 “The source code thatgoverned and impacted my perceptions evolved into a different dimension.Success isn’t correlated with our biased, delusional and conventional shallowmeasures of life. Success is the accomplishment of the purpose of our creation.We have forgotten the purpose we were created for as we ignorantly continue topass through our lives; deceiving our conscience,” she said.

Wasim said the journey has been “exhausting, to battle mysoul for so long” and life was too short yet too long to be at war withoneself.

About announcing the decision on social media, the actorsaid she was openly doing so not to paint a holier picture of herself, but”this is the least I can do to start afresh”.

 “This is just myfirst step as I have arrived at the clarity of realisation of the path I wishto be on and strive for and during this time I may have consciously orunconsciously planted a seed of temptation in the hearts of many, but mysincere advice to everyone is that no amount of success, fame, authority orwealth is worth trading or losing your peace or the light of your ‘imaan’ for,”she said.

Wasim will next be seen in “The Sky is Pink”, which alsostars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Farhan Akhtar. The film completed shooting inMarch.
