Indian actress of Big Boss fame Sana Khan has bid goodbye to Bollywood and her acting career in order to spend her life “in the service of humanity” and following the orders of her “Creator”.

The announcement follows on the heels of Sana Khan’s messy and much publicised break-up with dancer Melvin Louis earlier this year. 

The 33-year old actress made the announcement in Hindi, English and Urdu, where she mentioned how grateful she is for whatever she was able to achieve in her career so far.

“Today I am talking to you standing at a crucial juncture of my life. For years, I have been living the Showbiz (film industry) life, and during this time I have been blessed with all kinds of fame, honour and wealth from my fans for which I am grateful to them,” Khan wrote on social media.

“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?,” she said in her post.

Sana Khan congratulated on decision 

Following the announcement, religious scholar Maulana Taqi Usmani congratulated her for “setting an example of courage and bravery”.

Taking to Twitter, the scholar said: “Congratulations to Bollywood actress Sana Khan for turning her life towards the pleasure of Allah Almighty and setting an example of courage and determination.”

“May Allah Almighty grant her perfect perseverance and help her step by step and help her in this world and the hereafter,” he added.
