Zaira Wasim, the young actor who won hearts across the country with her powerful performances in Dangal and Secret Superstar, has announced that she is married. The former actor, who left Bollywood in 2019 for religious reasons, shared her wedding news through a heartfelt social media post on Friday evening. This is her first major personal update in several years, and it has quickly caught the attention of her fans and well-wishers.
In her post, Zaira shared two simple yet elegant photographs from her nikaah ceremony. The pictures, filled with warmth and serenity, show Zaira signing her nikaah nama — the marriage contract — with her hands beautifully decorated in mehendi and an emerald ring adorning her finger. In another picture, she is seen standing beside her husband under a peaceful night sky. Zaira is dressed in a deep red dupatta, while her groom wears a cream-colored sherwani. The images have been widely appreciated for their simplicity and the quiet dignity they reflect.
Zaira captioned her post with just three words — “Qubool hai x3.” — the traditional phrase spoken during a Muslim marriage ceremony meaning “I accept.” The short caption, paired with the modest photographs, touched many hearts online. Fans and followers from across the world flooded her comment section with congratulatory messages and prayers for her new journey. Many expressed happiness at seeing her after such a long time and wished her peace and happiness in her married life. 
Zaira Wasim became a household name when she made her acting debut as a teenager in Dangal, the blockbuster biographical film starring Aamir Khan. Released in 2016, the movie told the story of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters, and Zaira played the younger version of Geeta Phogat. Her performance was widely praised and even earned her the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress. She followed this success with Secret Superstar in 2017, where she portrayed a young girl with dreams of becoming a singer. The film was both a critical and commercial success, cementing her place as one of Bollywood’s most promising young talents.
However, despite her early fame and recognition, Zaira made headlines in 2019 when she announced that she would be quitting the film industry. In a long and emotional post, she said that working in films had begun to interfere with her faith and her relationship with religion. “This field indeed brought me a lot of love, support, and appreciation,” she wrote, “but it also took me to a path of ignorance, as I silently and unconsciously transitioned out of imaan.” Her statement drew mixed reactions at the time — while some praised her courage to follow her beliefs, others expressed sadness over her decision to leave acting at such a young age.
Since then, Zaira had largely stayed away from the public eye, keeping her personal life private and off social media. Her announcement of marriage, therefore, came as a pleasant surprise to her followers. The tone of her post — calm, composed, and deeply personal — mirrors the same grace that defined her exit from the industry years ago.
