She came to Mumbai from Srinagar to test her luck, acted as a wrestler in her debut Bollywood film and bagged a National Award for it, at the age of 16. She called it all ‘destiny’. She has been even trolled a lot on social media, but has received more respect and love from the industry and rest of the world. We are talking about none other than Zaira Wasim.
She has followed her heart and is already making her parents proud.
This one’s for all those who have slammed her, hated her and also for the one’s who have given her much love. Here are quotes by Zaira, who turned 17 this year, that will inspire you to follow your heart:
When she showed how grounded she is!
“I know for a fact how important being humble is. There is no definition of success, it isn’t that I’ve achieved everything. If I take this to my head, I could fall. I know that this could be a phase and there’s a lot I need to see.”
When her Maturity shut everyone’s mouth!
“I am being projected as a role model for Kashmiri Youth. I want to make it very clear that I do not want anyone to follow in my footsteps or even consider me as a role model.”
When she subtly revealed how her ordinary life was not so ordinary in Kashmir
My life is a little different from what a 16-year-old’s life should be. I never went out much. I have heard stories from my father that they used to go here and there. There is a huge hill right next to my house and I have never been there.
When she didn’t shy away from being honest to the world
I don’t have any goal or any aim which I have to follow; I am going with the flow that life shows me… I want to study, but if another film offer comes my way in future and doesn’t affect my studies I will take it.
Her upcoming film Secret Superstar is scheduled to release on October 19.
