Raveena Tandon takes a dig at Zaira Wasim, says ‘just wish they’d keep their regressive views to themselves’

Taking a dig at Zaira Wasim after she announced her decision to quit Bollywood, Raveena Tandon says ‘two film olds are ungrateful to the industry.’

In a clear dig at Dangal star Zaira Wasim’s announcement that she is leaving Bollywood, Raveena Tandon has slammed the ‘two film olds’ for being ungrateful to the industry.

Raveena Tandon slams Zaira Wasim after she announced her decision to quit Bollywood.

Raveena tweeted, “Doesn’t matter if two film olds are ungrateful to the industry that have given them all. Just wish they’d exit gracefully and keep their regressive views to themselves .”

She had starred as the lead in Advait Chauhan’s Secret Superstar and has completed work on The Sky Is Pink alongside Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar that is due for release this October.

Supporting her decision, former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah had tweeted, “Who are any of us to question @ZairaWasimmm’s choices? It’s her life to do with as she pleases. All I will do is wish her well & hope that what ever she does makes her happy.”

Filmmaker Onir also reacted to the development and wrote, “It’s someone’s right to choose what profession one finds happiness in. Wish the decision did not have to be accompanied with a sermon on “good way of life” #ZairaWasim .The opposite is a huge struggle for many who are prevented to make the choice citing the idea as anti religion.”

Here are a few more reactions:

Zaira has faced backlash from Muslim hardliners all through her five-year-old career. Even before her first film released, she was criticised for working in films and was later slammed for meeting the then Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti.
