Here’s why.
Why Nadia Jamil Turned Down Veer Zara
She said:
When Veer Zaara was offered to me I was at a crossroads in my life as I had to choose between my son Raqae who was two months old and acting in a film.
Nadia’s mother also urged her to play the role and insisted that she should fly to India and avail this big opportunity. She even offered to accompany her to India to look after her son Raqae, but Nadia decided otherwise, and further added that:
It was a conscious decision not to do the film as I thought to myself that if I get hooked to this then what will become of my son who was so tiny at that time.
