Sanam Chaudhry is a very popular and talented Pakistani actress. Fans know her for her brilliant performances in TV drama serials like Aasmanon Pay Likha, Ghar Titli Ka Par, and many other projects. However, despite her success, the 30-year-old quit the showbiz industry to focus on her marriage and religion.
Recently, former actress Sanam Chaudhry sat for an interview to open up about her spiritual journey. Fans often wonder why the actress left the industry so abruptly, we finally got our answer.
The Bhool star felt she was becoming more and more distant from Allah throughout her acting career. Sanam confessed she could not find peace during that time of her life.
“I was a part of this race in my acting career where I was constantly striving to achieve more, there was competition and comparison, I have seen and experienced a lot, but something was missing,” she said. “Then I came to realize that although Allah was always with me, I was only using Him.”
The Turning Point in her Life
It was while reciting Surah Baqarah that Sanam had an epiphany as one of the verses struck a chord with her.
“When I recited Surah Baqarah, where it says, ‘Woh muslamaan tou hain par momin nahi [although they are Muslims they are not believers]’, I reflected on why I do not follow the teachings of Islam despite being a Muslim,” she said.
Sanam Chaudhry states the fact that people are hypocritical in their faith, as she includes herself. According to the former star, people recite the Quran or performer prayers only for the the sake of doing so, rather than dedicate themselves to the true teachings of Islam. Sanam believes she has acknowledged this fault in herself and has made her felt more close to God. Check out the full interview here.
