Sara Chaudhry left the media industry after her conscious decision due to religious awakening. She joined Al Huda institute and invested her life into the religious preaching. Now, Sara is happily married and has kids too. Sara joined showbiz in 2002, 2003 and left it in 2010.
Recently, she made an appearance on Hafiz Ahmed’s podcast where she discussed her religious transformation. Speaking about it, she said, “My parents were always inclined towards Islam. They always emphasized on Namaz and Quran. My father was quite strict about Namaz. He used to ask me about prayers daily. My mother was regular with her Salah even in her youth. Also, we used to observe Ramadan with great zest. Besides this, I was very spiritual; I used to pray for guidance, wanting Allah to mold me into the person He desires. I realized that peace is found in Allah’s name and righteousness.”
She further added, “I realized that true guidance comes after aligning your life with the wishes of Allah. Amidst my career and reflections, another incident led to my guidance; my young Khala passed away at the age of 38. It was then I decided to leave the showbiz industry. It was shocking for me, a reality check. The restrictions imposed by my family also contributed to my spiritual transformation. As Sara Chaudhry, I wasn’t allowed to move outside with my friends much. These restrictions were a blessing for me, which helped in my spiritual journey. I never delved too deeply into the modernism of the media industry.” Here is the link to the video where she talked about leaving the showbiz industry:
Sara Chaudhry said that she joined showbiz to support her parents as she always wanted them to have a house and basic facilities. She said that she was the only child and wanted to earn and used to pray for financial stability and siblings. Her parents had faced a lot of financial difficulties because of their early marriage. She said, “my father’s friend fetched me a few modelling assignments after which I properly pursued media as a career. Even as a star, I used to be with my parents all the time, so they protected me as well”.
