Her words came out as a shock for hundreds of people as she didn’t give a reason for her sudden desire to leave. However, we all understood. While many were sad and wanted her to stay, others encouraged her and wish the actress good luck for the future.
“With great pleasure and humility, I have decided to bid farewell to our wonderful media industry. I am bowing out with immense satisfaction and a lot of pride to move on to the next phase of my life,” the actress wrote.
She added, “I have always tried to keep my professional and personal life separate and request everyone to understand please. I would also like to let my colleagues and friends know about the limitation that I might have had in accepting new projects since 2016 out of which a few scripts stayed with me for a long time. My apologies. As I move on in life to discover how fate unfolds, I would request my well wishers to remember me and my parents in their prayers.”
Aisha’s announcement took the industry by surprise, with many ofher co-stars like Ahsan Khan, Syed Jibran and Zahid Ahmed expressing their shock on her Facebook post.
Mansha Pasha said, “What?! The industry is going to lose one of its brightest stars and one of the best actors. However, respect your decision if it makes you happy.”
“But what about us? We had to do one more together!” exclaimed Tooba Siddiqui. “Shine on my friend in whatever you feel happy in, may you lead ur life on best choices.”
“Aisha, it takes a lot of courage to take this step. So proud of you. Great luck for [the] future, but we all will miss [your] on-screen magic,” remarked Azfar Rehman.
