Once a familiar face in films and ad campaigns, Sana Khan made headlines in 2020 when she left the glamour of showbiz behind to embrace a more spiritual life after marrying Mufti Anas Sayed. Now, with a family of her own and a renewed sense of purpose, her transformation has caught the attention of many—including fellow actress Zareen Khan, who recently spoke about Sana’s journey and why it shouldn’t surprise anyone who truly knew her.
Zareen Khan on Sana’s Post-Marriage Shift
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla’s Hindi Rush, Zareen opened up about Sana’s transformation after marriage. While she admitted she doesn’t know Sana closely, Zareen said she respects her decision to embrace a more spiritual life. She acknowledged that people often pass remarks about Sana’s post-marriage shift toward religion but affirmed that everyone has the right to choose their own path.
‘She Was Always Religious’
Responding to comments about Sana’s post-marriage transformation, Zareen clarified that Sana has always been deeply religious—even during her time in the film industry. Zareen revealed that Sana regularly offered prayers back then as well, but people often need visible proof to acknowledge someone’s spiritual journey.
Faith Is Personal, Not Performative
In the same interview, the actress highlighted that faith is a deeply personal matter and doesn’t need to be showcased for validation. She emphasized that Sana Khan had always been religious, even during her acting career, and her decision to fully embrace a spiritual path after marrying Mufti Anas Sayed was entirely her own. Zareen added that society often assumes glamorous women can’t be devout, but one’s relationship with God doesn’t need to be on public display. She expressed happiness for Sana’s choices and transformation.
Sana Khan’s Journey from Stardom to Spirituality
Sana made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan’s Jai Ho in 2014, and later appeared in Wajah Tum Ho in 2016. Her popularity soared after participating in Bigg Boss. In 2020, she announced her decision to leave the entertainment industry, citing a desire to serve humanity and follow the path of faith. In a heartfelt note, Sana shared that she found the answers she was seeking in Islam and realised that worldly life is meant to prepare for the hereafter.
