Former Bigg Boss contestant Sana Khan quits entertainment industry to ‘serve humanity’

Bollywood actress and former Bigg Boss contestant Sana Khan on Thursday announced her retirement from the entertainment industry, citing religious reasons. Sana wrote a long post on social media across platforms.

Sana Khan wrote that the entertainment industry has given her "all kinds of fame, honour and wealth" but she has realised that she should not make "wealth and fame" her only goal. Sana also added that from now on, she will "serve humanity and follow the order of her Creator."

“Isn’t it a part of his/her duty to spend his/her life in the service of those who are needy and helpless? Shouldn’t a person think that he/she could die at any moment? And what will happen to him after he/she is no more? I have been searching for answers to these two questions for a long period of time, especially the second question as to what will happen to me after my death?”

Sana said that while pondering these questions, she came to the realisation that “this life in the world is actually for the betterment of life-after-death” and that “it would be better if the slave lives according to the command of his Creator” and does not spend a lifetime chasing wealth and fame.

“Therefore, I declare today that from today onwards, I have resolved to say goodbye to my Showbiz lifestyle forever and serve humanity and follow the order of my Creator. All brothers and sisters are requested to pray for me to Allah to accept my repentance and grant me the true ability to live in accordance with my determination of spending my life following the commandments of my Creator and in the service of humanity, and grant me perseverance in it.”

She concluded her message by requesting everybody to not question her about the entertainment industry anymore. Her post was ‘liked’ by over 100000 people.

Jai Ho actress statement comes just over a year after Dangal actor Zaira Wasim quit acting for similar reasons.

Reacting on her post Divya Agarwal wrote, “Whatever makes you happy. You are a beautiful soul.. you were a pure heart then even when working for the showbiz and even better now. So happy you found your path. Allah aapko dhersari khushiyaan de.. Ameen.”

“Sana my girl Wish you so much love and joy that you already carry within you as a person. Be blessed today and everyday.” Muzamil Ibrahim commented, “I wish you good fortune and great life ahead in whatever you chose to do. May Allah bless us and guide us all,” wrote Iridhi Dogra.

Sana is known for appearing as a contestant on Bigg Boss 6. She has also worked in several movies and TV series
