Others advised the Feroze Khan against the decision.
I don't think you should quit media industry. You can come forward with your own stuff like movies and dramas and preach good stuff to people. You are highly talented and you should keep working.

There were even comparisons to Hamza Ali Abbasi’s decision to steer clear of commercial projects. While the Jawani Phir Nahi Ani actor did initially announce that he would be making his own content and continue acting, he recently reconsidered his stance on commercial projects.

When Feroze Khan Quit Instagram
Previously Feroze Khan had quit Instagram briefly. This too seemed like a spiritually motivated decision based on his wife Alizey’s post stating;
“May this spiritual journey brings more faith in your life and serve the purpose. A proud wife.”
