Sana Khan, once a sizzling name in Bollywood and television, has made waves again, not for a comeback, but for a revelation about her life-altering decision to embrace Islam. In a now-viral podcast, she spilled the tea on the first bold moves she made after quitting the entertainment industry in 2020. And trust us, they were as drastic as they come!??
Sana revealed that the first thing she did was completely ban television from her life, forever. She took this decision just before Ramzan¡¯s Chand Raat in 2020, believing that watching TV wasn¡¯t aligned with her newfound spiritual path. She didn¡¯t stop there, she canceled every streaming subscription, cut the cable, and even made sure her mother couldn¡¯t watch TV either. Sana admitted that she didn¡¯t even ask her mother¡¯s permission before pulling the plug, but insisted that she did it with the best intentions.
Taking things even further, Sana decided to completely cut off communication with all her male friends. Even those who had helped her during the COVID-19 crisis were suddenly out of her life. According to her, talking to na-mehram men (those she could potentially marry) was no longer acceptable. She firmly believed that she would only reconnect with male friends after marriage, but even then, her husband would have the final say on whether she could speak to them or not.??
Sana confessed that she didn¡¯t even discuss her spiritual transition with anyone, not even her mother. She feared being bombarded with opinions that might shake her resolve. Instead, she made these changes silently, trusting her own beliefs rather than seeking validation.
Another major shift in Sana¡¯s life was her decision to stop celebrating birthdays. She revealed that 2020 was the last time she acknowledged her birthday, as she believes it is haraam (forbidden) in Islam. While some of her friends felt uncomfortable, a few stood by her, and she remains close to them. Interestingly, her best friend is a non-Muslim, but the two continue to respect each other¡¯s choices.
Sana has also vowed to never remove her hijab, emphasizing that she wants to ensure her modesty even in death. She recalled a saying that states that even a deceased woman should be covered entirely in five pieces of cloth. Her belief in this principle is so strong that she made a solemn promise to wear the hijab for the rest of her life.
Sana Khan was once a finalist on Bigg Boss 6 and had starred in hit films like Jai Ho and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. She was also a well-known face in reality shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi and Comedy Nights Bachao. But today, her focus is entirely on faith, and her transformation has left everyone stunned.??
