Anupamaa actress Anagha Bhosale has announced that she was quitting acting for ‘religious beliefs’ and ‘spiritual path.’ The actor has been praised by her co-stars for her decision to quit acting for religious reasons.
In her statement, shared on Instagram, Bhosale wrote, “Hare Krishna Family, I know u all have been kind & have shown concern after the show & thank you for that I am really grateful, if some of you don’t know yet that I am officially quitting the film & television industry.”
She added, “this is it & I really do hope you all will definitely respect & support my decision, I did take this decision due to my religious beliefs & spiritual path, I know you should keep doing your karmas but not where your krishna consciousness or spiritual growth is getting tampered or weakened, I do believe you should get away from situations or people who increase your distance with God/Krishna.”
She continued, “The field where I was in is way different & tampers with my consciousness levels, makes you something which you are not & takes you away from what you believe in, therefore this was my decision thank you for all the concerns, messages & calls you shared with me and my family, thank you for your love & respect. I feel if you need any answers read spiritual & holy book, READ SHRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA.”

In 2019, Dangal-fame actress Zaira Wasim had announced that she was bidding goodbye to the Hindi film industry, five years after she started her career as an actor. In a long social media post, Zaira had said that the decision to quit Bollywood as a result of her long realisation that her acting career was interfering with her imaan (faith).
