Indian stars shun limelight for Islam
Indian actress Sabina Jat has quit acting citing religious reasons, while rapper Ruhaan Arshad left the music industry as he felt it was not compatible with Islam.
It follows a trend in recent years, which has seen other actors follow the same path, including Sanam Chaudhry, Sana Khan, and Zaira Wasim.
Jat, who got married recently, said her decision also inspired her husband to quit the industry as well.
Arshad shot to fame after the release of his rap song ‘Miya Bhai’ in 2018, which accumulated over 500 million views on Youtube.
He recently released a video announcing his decision to quit the music industry as he felt it was not compatible with Islam.
