Last year, Hamza Ali Abbasi made an announcement that he will be quitting showbiz in order to focus more on religion and ‘talk more about God’.
The Jawani Phir Nahi Ani actor had vowed to talk about God and religion through every medium. He also said that if he ever produces or directs a movie or drama in the future, it will primarily focus on religion.
This indeed resulted in a lot of popular and unpopular opinions from his admirers and detractors alike. While some said that they resonate with his long journey from being an atheist to becoming someone who consistently practices his faith…
Sanity is, to not to get judgemental over Hamza Abbasi's decision, thats his call.
If he left showbiz bcz of Islam thats his personal understanding n choice, it doesn't mean everybody left behind in Industry is a non-muslim or even guiltyLet it b a choice plz#HamzaAliAbbasi pic.twitter.com/KRN98WZrpE

There were also some who criticized him for ‘putting up a show for ulterior motives.’
These confused bigots use showbiz to make money, name and fame.
Then they denounce it once these goals are achieved.If you’re done, just retire. Stop this disgusting hypocritical mantra of claiming to ‘spread message of Islam’. #HamzaAliAbbasi

Thankyou❤. As i said in my video, i haven't quit acting bcz i dont see it any whr in Islam as being haraam in itself. I just took a long break from acting to give more time to religion & insha Allah will make & maybe act in projects made within boundaries Allah has set for us.

This isn’t u turn plz correct it..he said it from the beginning that he’s taking a long break from the industry.
I knew this before he is such a doggla insan …. Whatever, he is not going to be welcomed..
That was quick comeback ! to acting
Appreciate Abbasi’s speedy “spread of Islam” mission completion
I don’t know why all actors/actresses share every thing of their life’s to public in first place and then on criticism from public call their actions as PRIVATE matter
Why people always pass a judgement over others …its his life….. lets take him decision… whether he will work or quit
