Anupam Kher who earlier said that “if she has taken this decision in the name of religion then maybe this is not her decision, maybe she is forced to take that decision” now says her exit must have demoralised the youngsters in Kashmir.

"I hope she had continued. She was a hope for so many youngsters in Kashmir. On one hand we celebrate the inclusion of a Kashmiri boy in our cricket team, and another judo player, and on the other hand, here, Zaira must have demoralised so many other people," Kher told News 18 adding that it’s her life and he wishes all the luck to her.

"I was saddened because a young girl crushed her dreams of becoming (an actor). God gave her such an amazing platform. Amir Khan gave such an amazing actor. I looked at it from an actor's point of view. I run a (acting) school, so many people come with a dream of becoming something and she actually got a platform," he had earlier told ANI.

“But it is her life, if she wants to take that decision, I respect her decision. I think we should leave her alone,” Anupam Kher added.

Zaira Wasim’s decision to quite Bollywood has not only divided the industry but has also spiraled into a political debate with leaders divided over the actor's statement.
