Film Companion common many of them have sacrificed their sleep haha you should've not put that in thumbnail. I respect her hard work and sacrifices but the sacrifice you put there was really useless.
That's a good practice:) Assisting viewers to go where they want. Good !
keep posting such notes for every interview, its very helpful for viewers 👍👍
Film Companion this girl is first hot then actor
Film Companion iske jitnni age nahi mam leonardo ke movie dekhlo Johnny depp ke sath as a actor she's not a challenging emotionally compare to Hollywood ..its ok for Bollywood ..
She behaves and talks 20 times more maturely and decently than the Alia-Shradha lot, who prance and talk around like pre teen girls. Perhaps a Star is born?
Karan we surely have a diva in the making...she will be an exquisite actress in the lines of vidya balan...if I am not wrong.
Talking maturely is a very small part in becoming a star. Alia and Shraddha have been given all they want since their birth. While this girl had to struggle for this. Its obvious they would talk differently.
Alia talks maturely too if only if you would observe her.
Shraddha tries hard or she's been a baby in the family for long because she acts like 19 when she is 30..also they say if you are younger at heart then your face doesn't show your chronological age
Shraddha kapoor is like the Rahul Gandhi of Bollywood.
Yea doesn't mean she would be ready for relationships lmao. Her parents hve done ok but I would prefer her to look like a kid not someone 30
If I had this level of maturity at 16, I would have won a Nobel Prize by now.
Me too
Yaaaaaaa.....me too...
But...My more tym time passed in depression....😂😂😂😂
lol...
Maturity comes with exposure.. Age has nothing to do with it!
My parents would have given me an oscar.
Yep she got Nobel prize in physics, I know
There's so much of maturity flourishing from her words..
She's the real beauty and brain
I never thought this girl is such an articulate and full of self confidence at this age. I think she is very intelligent or wise.
She sounds so mature for a 16 year old. Great job! This movie will definitely be the one to watch out for
she should also hire a *psychiatrist & counselor*
I have a strong feeling she will end up like Deepika Padukone
DeepBlue deepika was never deep.. I have seen her old interviews.. She is not deep at all
She is someone who masks her emotions.. So she might have different problems
She's stilla kid tho
she is not 16. She is about 19-20
Tech Nahid zaira is 16
Malala was 15 when she was shot
Alxamdulilahi Allah gave her hidayah now she quits Bollywood Allahu akbar
She is INCREDIBLY wise for her age, people three times her age in this industry cannot articulate as well she has here. I think with more experience, she'll unstoppable.
Zaira made such a praise worthy decision of quitting trashy Bollywood, kudos to her!
Its been years and still I cannot believe how can she leave all the Glamour and that Zenith for which lakhs of people don't even think twice to sell their eman, their body, their soul and modesty in order to please others. She was at the top that women die for and are ready to do anything.
I am truly ashamed of myself.. May Allah guide you and guide others through you and bless you and protect you immensely.🤗
You are true Secret Superstar!
Bollywood is shit, even i dont like it
However Zaira didnt leave coz its bad, she left coz "acting made her detach from Allah"
By supporting her, r u reasserting the notion that islam forbids a woman to showcase art, talent & skills she has put great efforts to excel in ? She could have been a great role model for young muslim girls by becoming a a self made superstar.
Today she is jobless, with no career and ambassador for radical islam.
It was purely a religiously motivated decision, surprisingly 188 people who liked ur comment also think the same.
@@ankeetsingh14 Bro showing your body so that other men can take pleasure from it is not good.
And Life is not "career, career, career" only. Get off such materialistic things. To earn money is primarily the Man's duty. Women can do so many things apart. You just have fixed your view that she must exhibit them in Public so that people can take pleasure.
And there is no "radical Islam''. This is true Islam.
@FinnTheHuman Are you a man or a sister?
@FinnTheHuman It does. Different perspectives.
Make 'Malala' biopic with her, she would be apt !!
Ya
BINGO !!
Yeeaas
Ravi Chandra why a Pak character ?
Yes ...perfectly right
She is very smart and intelligent
MY passion for SINGING
And very careful when she was talking...
sireesha Yes very calm and mature
Physically she is Indian and ROM heart she is Pakistani 😠😡😡😠
warrior high she is indian muslim not pakistani...why are you saying these words?
MY passion for SINGING go and check her mother comments like ... Keep calm and defeat inida ..
Go and check she refused to stand up on Indian national anthem ... I hate my country democracy
She is so mature and well spoken and shes just 16! Hope she continues to do amazing work.
Anupama is very respectful to even newcomers. Love her style of interviewing.
my Gooooooooooooooooooood.....sheeeeeee is a 16 year Old New Super Star....What a presentation of a teenage girl at 16...........
Such a cute and beautiful girl. Love you Zaira Wasim. Will miss your Bollywood career. Best of luck for your future. May God bless you with real success and peace of mind.
She is so straight forward.. That what i feel.. Others star try to be funny and impress in interviews like they are giving audition. Bravo to zaira
She is very matured & much more composed than most of the leading ladies of Bollywood. Strange. Anyways, miles to go girl.
She is really beautiful and intelligent.
True
@@shaguftaali6044 true
am i the only guy looking for another mature interview after watching this??
@Raz Patnaik plus check out the spelling and the name. It's'zaira' and not 'zahira'.
Is she really 16 yrs old. She talks too mature; hats off
most of the people saying that she is so mature for a 16 year old is actually weird to me, I'm a 16 year old too, will turn 17 next mnth, and to me she is just as mature as most of the girls of my age I've seen. It's just that the Bollywood star kids are not that mature and they're treated like kids even when they're above 25.. otherwise we see most of the kids even younger than her are actually very practical and smart in our country, mostly girls, and she maybe is like that cause she doesn't have a filmy background also the way she's treated in her family makes a difference..
anyway, love her for being real.
• Shafiyαツ • especially girls from Muslim families coz they don't have much exposure
Maybe..... because I feel they are really cool for age.,, when I watch chloe grace moretz or zaira.....it may be because I grew very much as a person in last 4 years....I have presumptive bias against me at that age because I really made a lot of mistakes.i may be exaggerating my dumbness at that age ,...,........maybe because I don't know anyone that well of her age at this point of time...but a part of it is true that I don't seen many teens talking with this maturity on TH-cam interviews ..(now to think about it you are right I had few friends who were very sorted at 16)....most of time I see overtheage anti intellectual bimbos (exaggerated but still true) .maybe that's normal for you because you fall in or are exposed to same demographic at this time......I still smell pretentiousness in her thinking way(but she's 17 will easily learn it later in life) but is overshadowed by mature answers which is rare to find in a stars especially this young..,, ........,....its just same as some people think kid operating smartphone at 3 is super intelligent because they never did it and had hard time learning it
• Shafiyαツ • it is all about exposure.....she might have been the student of that school where where the students get good environment for exposure....
Exactly
u r right. i m too 16 yrs old.
Its been years and still I cannot believe how can she leave all the Glamour and that Zenith for which lakhs of people don't even think twice to sell their eman, their body, their soul and modesty in order to please others. She was at the top that women die for and are ready to do anything.
I am truly ashamed of myself.. May Allah guide you and guide others through you and bless you and protect you immensely.🤗
You are true Secret Superstar!
She obviously mentioned about being unhappy and depressed and also lack.of sleep. I feel more negative from her being actress so yeah she took decision for herself because it's not easy to entertain public upon your own happiness. Respect people who are in industry and struggle of theirs.
@@prettythings5572 Well I think the film industry you are praising isn't worth of it, they reduce women to flesh and skin and the worse part it, women have been fooled to believe it to be 'liberating'. I don't believe public display of nu.dity, vul.garity and obscenit.y in the name of 'entertaining' people deserves any praise leave critisizing alone. The film industry is highly toxic where people rat race for attention, claps, its highly materialistic or is becoming worse day by day by incoming of even filthier tactics to gain audience and promotion of degeneracy. Dresses get more revealing to attract the eyes of the viewers and so on.
Just look at Netflix, there was a show where it showed a leading actress having int-ercourse with his father in law. I mean this was way, way too low.
Sadly, women find this to be somewhat 'bold' or 'freeing', I mean how pityful. And its sweeping into the main stream also and is effecting kids too. I would never cash my principles for just 'entertaining' someone let alone seeking fame.
Who is here after she gave up her acting for 'religion'?
Me
Wish she had never got these opportunities someone less fanatical had got such opportunities
Who is here to judge people?
Mulli
Mujhe 25 sal tak ye clear nhi ho paya life me chal kya rha aur chalna kya chahiye ...
16 sal me itna fame and success k bad achanak back out krna k ye kafi himmat ki bat h ...paise fame ka kya h death k bad sab khatam
Allah sabko aesi himmat de ...
This is the actual exam whether you can sacrifice or not
She is very mature for her age and handled herself very graciously. Keep it up Zaira!!! You have a long way to go.
Thanks for watching!
when i was 16......well lets not talk about it
😂😂😂😂 I am with you.
Bhavna Adhikari and me too 😜
Same here! :-P
Lol
pls help. im in tears.i cant stop laughing
Wow when she is 16 I can believe when I'm 16 I'm watch tom&Jerry's shame on me.
Even me 16 n still watching shinchan 🤭🤘🤘
dont be we are the same
I mean com'on let's be honest we like to downplay it but We all were quite mature till 16 it's not like we were kids eating dirt
I'm 16 right now and making songs on utube
I think she the most mature actress in Bollywood...... I just love her..❤❤❤❤❤
Not in Bollywood now
Proud of you Kashmiri Girl
Hit like for kashmir
@Andaleeb Hejazi chup laude
@Andaleeb Hejazi madrsachap log chutiya soch
That's their life... Ypu people don't have right to criticize other.. Jahan dekho fatwe jaari krne lg jaate hn.. Jo actor h uxko khd bhi in sb baaton ka ptaw hoga.. You don't need to stop by and tell them what's right and wrong.. They're fully responsible for their own actions.. Just mind your own business
@Andaleeb Hejazi she is the best example of Muslim..becoz according to hadith every son of adam is a sinner but among them best are those who repent
She doesn't do the awwww pawwww over acting the other actors and the normal teenagers do 💓
Iram falak Not all teenagers do awww pawww it's just that some teenager think it seems cute(which isn't)
Iram falak it's cute to do those...it looks cute and beautiful when people behave according to their ages
So true! All NEpo kids talk like Aww Paww thats when your vocabulary is weak. So refreshing to see her talk.
Right....
Normal teenagers don't do that
She is so brilliant, intelligent!
Yes
Awesome kiddo.. Way to go..
She is very level headed and very practical minded for her age.. And speaks so well than actors almost twice her age..
you seem to have found Ur balance..
good luck for your long and wonderful career ahead.. acting or otherwise..
N honest too in saying u don't get compliments get into Ur head.. sort of saw that in the beginning of Ur interview..
Frankly.. wow
just for admitting it on record..
Wish u the very best in whatever u dcyd to pursue..
not that u need it.. but still..
*At 16 being interviewed so wisely, is way ahead of her age, let alone acting! To top it she hails from a small/underdeveloped town! Some people are just blessed!*
I'm glad she quit ...she's too young ...being a child star is hard thing ...I hope she is enjoying her life to fullest
I can't believe she is just 16! amazing & inspiring girl ;)
she is so talented and well educated in this age she as bright future
She is intelligent, very natural and effortless. I wish her best of luck ahead.
She is honest and open about his state of mind. That's why she took brave step to quit acting that is luxurious life and lime light which is many a time addicted.
A girl Who Dismissed her career for her better career in Hereafter.. God bless you sister ❤
One of the most inspiring interviews! Simple yet complex & to the point! Had goosebumps watching the interview. Wow! 👍👍👌
Thanks for watching!
i have never seen or heard of such a well-spoken 16 year old
I am a proud Kashmiri after watching this 😍
Loads of love zaira.
As an American Muslim, just by watching this one video for the first time, it was enough for me to have a full understanding about the psychological maturity of this young girl and the careful thoughts & commitment of her current decision of withdrawing from the film industry! Therefore I see these paparazzi dramas as a waste of time to the viewers and a waste of energy of all the intellectuals around the world of film industry to witness empty debates between adults, senior directors/producers in the indian film industry and the media! it is obvious that the young girl has a very strong personality, firm and unshakable, she is very outspoken, she has eloquence in addressing her reasons, obstacles distinctly without any outside pressure! So why ppl keep hitting behind the bushes now? Can't you see how mature, independent and critical thinker she is?! why in the world would Bollywood criticsize her decision even if was based on her belief?! What is the problem? Specially when you knew from the beginning the kind of person she was! Look and analyse this video was shot in 2017, it was clear that she is not the type of person that can be controlled, brainwashed or indoctrinated by the global mafia the same way that they got used to enslave, use and abuse other buffoon clown puppets in the industry!!! grow up sheeple and get a life!
@@VedPrakash-zo7bu It is funny, and a matter of perspective, so you are unaware of the fact that an actress has to expose, do kissing scenes and the stuff, and that is actually a must if you want to reach stardom in Bollywood, the other shady stuff that goes behind the scenes that some actresses have to stoop to get a role, is also part of the game. So she didn't say the way I am saying it, she just said it in a round about a way through religion . Zaira did two good roles, that were also age appropriate, but now for adult roles, she has to do what the deepikas and katrinas are doing, and she can't handle it simple
@@VedPrakash-zo7bu Exactly, the critics have a problem that she left industry for the sake of religion. How does it harm you or others? She didn't set out to lynch or spread toxic views in the name of religion. She has taken a step for nourishment of her soul. If you had ever known what co-existence means and what it means to respect others' choices, you won't have written this. Arundhati Roy is so right when she talks about growing religious intolerance among Indian masses.
@@VedPrakash-zo7bu It's all a matter of perspective. And what is important is to learn to respect others' just as you respect yours. I am not going to debate with you on this whole Creator issue. That's your belief which I respect (despite that my opinion could be opposite). That's what you call respecting others' choices.
@@SP-gy4hs No, the outrage is purely because India is increasingly becoming a state ruled by religious bigots. You are fast forgetting what co-existence means. That's the entire issue.
@@SP-gy4hs Yes, it's a Muslim talking about religious bigotry, surprised? You have been taught to hate a religion and its followers because some of them have wreaked havoc in the past. I, on the othe hand, have been taught to respect all humans irrespective of their religion, race etc. I respect others' choices because they are free to make any choices as long as it doesn't hurt others. About time you learn a thing or two about co-existence or keep wondering why religious bigotry is on rise there despite India being a so-called secular state.
She is so calm & composed.. At 16 dis interview tht she gave, i didnt even have tht vocabulary.. Yaa..
Oh My God,I just cant believe that she is so mature at this age,There are a lot of things to learn from her.God bless her.
O my God!!! I have a crush on Zaira Wasim.... The day i watched the trailer of secret superstar i had a crush on her n after watching this interview... just wow😍😍.... She is so smart and beautiful...love her😘
I have a crush on her as well but I am 28 year old.
well damn..im 35
Jis Jis ko crush HAI aajaw kashmir ghr dikhata hu iska downtown mai rehti hai wahn gand mai jab ak47 rakhay gai crush ki maa ki aankh hogi...
@@agasyedubaid344 hahahahahahhaha bro awesome kya jawabbb diya mai bhi kuch aysa hi soch rahithii hahaha!😉😂😂😂🙇👀👀
@@agasyedubaid344 aray bhai bhai bhai😂😂
Downtown naam hi kafi hai 😂😂
2017...A star is born...Zaira Wasim...u did it !!!
I would love to see this girl flourish! .. wherever .. and in whichever field work. . So much confidence and sensibility. Such a good representation of teenagers. Teenagers are so misunderstood.
Is she really 16...god I was eating sand when I was 16😂
Join the club...me too
When i was 16 i dint even know how to talk hindi also
Can't stop laughing 😂🤣
Hahahaha u r so...funny
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
She's so articulate for a sixteen year old girl.
Blown away by her level of maturity and insight into life. Very grounded in reality. Adults twice, or even thrice her age aren't blessed with such depth and perception. May Allah(swt) protect and preserve her..Ameen.
One of the best interviews of a film star!👏 No nonsense questions😊
Yes
While everyone is praising her wits and intelligence here,but with this level of intelligence she made a decision for herself and the same people will now tag her stupid or brainwashed;not even thinking that there might be a personal realization because of the experiences you have had despite getting everything u wanted
@@user-sosomahmoud111
She was a Muslim back then too
i don.not think a wise lady can aovid
from threaten
She isn't even 0.1% nervous
She made a wise decision leaving Bollywood. And the reason for that made me respect her more.
People who are mature realise that Islam is the reality.
@@Annu.26 🤣
Religion helps to channelise life mam. Life doesn't revolve around religion. This dumb & toxic religious fanatism needs to end !
@@ankeetsingh14 so correctly said...
I am just obsessed with ur interviews n talks..I have started loving u❤️🤷
My God sixteen & such words of wisdom really rare , keep yourself the way you are & don't let time mold you.
She's so intelligent, modest, sober and philosophical...hard to accept such a talent left her promising career
Two sweethearts in one frame! Cuteness overload :)
Saurav you are a good human being.
Thank you harun :) Good day!
I like you name dada
Thank you Sharif :)
Wow. She is soooooooo smart n intelligent.
Im so hapoy to see her interview. Giving more platform to talent. Thanks anupama. Good job so happy
Too pure and strong personality to become a film actress. May you keep steadfast.
Very smart and eloquent speaker .
"What do you love most about being an actor?"
*widens eyes, thinks deeply*
"FOOD"
GOOD DRESS & U SPEAK LIKE PROFESSOR.aLL the BEST, zAIRA.
Why comment on dress ? How does it matter to you what she wears
GREAT KASHMIR.GREAT ZAIRA Beta.
She is very frank, very smart and intelligent 🔥🔥
Very mature and confident for a teenager!
Everyone praising her that she is really smart. Her smart brain helped her become who she is today. Alhamdulillah!🙌
I watched secret superstar yestrday... this movie is superb.. i loved it.. and she has acted really beautifully... she is really talented!
Omg i'm of her same age and I just realized how fool am I
Her answers on negative emotions worries me. Reminds me of what Heath Ledger used to get into!
Subrat Shri why not? Heath Ledger isn't invincible. He can be compared to other good actors.
Zaira : I sacrificed sleep to become an actor.
Engineers : Sleep? What's that?
Difference is there
Where the hell I was I don't even know when I was 16. That's called the impact of positive invirement.
kunal mahajan she worked with Amir....He is institutions.....either as an actor or in thought process....But she definitely she is extraordinary according to her age
meee 2 heehe
sayyid adnan you know read somewhere few years before, that you are the average of those five people you're spending your time with, and you are the average of those books you're reading now days, you're average of those place you're visiting, so just make sure you're spending your time with wise people, good books nd at beautiful places.
kunal mahajan Very Much Thanks Kunal Bhai for Sharing Such a Beautiful info. Good Wishes Bro
Arpita she by faar more intelligent tham aamir when it comes to talks or thought represention....she is very sorted out...that is not what we get when we see interview with aamir
She is requesting to delete all her photoes&all...cause now she is under the light of Islam 😊
She is sorted, intelligent and yet her age.. loved this interview :)
She is a very passionate girl at just a age of 16
Keep it up zaira
i dint know how someone can dislike the video!!!!
If she continue acting, she will definitely beat those actress of today's
My GOD, I am shocked seeing this girl's maturity. At the age of 16, she is talking like a lady of 25. This smart and responsible girl is going to be a very good actor in near future. Amazing maturity, hats off
Is that the cinema space has given her such maturity or is that her own?
I still can't digest the reason of her leaving cinema. Pretty sure there's more to it.
Let it go 🙊
There is nothing more. U can watch her vlogs.
We Muslims Understand it completely and We are proud of Her.
Omg such a maturity, "i love the duration between ACTION and CUT " 👍
Ya...sign of a real actor
jewel of india ..jewel of kashmir
OMG! she's just 16, and i can totally relate to wht ever she said on a personal level. She has the elegance and eloquence in her speech tht is just so attracting! keep up ur hard work!
Great video by the way
Hey Zaira.... thanks for representing us....love from kashmir... and i am amused to see the reaction about your speaking skills, let they know we are all apt beauty wise as well as brain wise.
Thankyou for letting everyone know how good are we when it comes to speaking and presenting ourselves. You have authenticated this reality that there is immense talent in kashmir more than any country can hold. Love you!
nadia wani GREAT KASHMIR. GREAT ZAIRA Beta.
Very impressive..so mature..perfect blend of beauty n brain..she'll go very far
She is a little messed up in her head but brave enough to accept it ... And as a teenager she is not supposed to know all these emotions , what's going on and future and stuff !!! She is just where she needs to be.. thank God she has no obsession for fame & vanity (may be someone in her family has put these thoughts into her head!! ) ... Things will be easier and different in her early 20s .. good luck
her life, her wish. But sad she quit
Such high conciousness at young age..wow
Wow! Zaira is something else!! Looks & Sounds like a Hollywood Starlet!! What matured views!! Aamir Khan's "Sachhi Shagird" and a "Well-Deserved Find". Congrats Aamir Saheb!! 👍🙏👏
Just wow! For the way she talks
She will go.. A Long Long Way !!
She is a very mature person, beautiful, talented, understanding, a relatable person
She is my fave now!
What a great interview! You got to love this girl ❤ She answered all the questions so well :)
great interview.. she is too mature. she is gonna high fly. No doubt about dat
Who he is here after she quit❤️
Wow. After Kangana, another gem in Bollywood. Long way to go sweetheart
really..r u serious how can u compare dumb (Kangana ) with genius (zaira).First of all Kangna does not know how to talk Acting toa door ki baat hai.
Mahira Haque agree kangana is gem..
Absolutely. But she will make a name of her own which will be greater.
@@degunbaba5772 are u nuts get well soon as u can not like kangana bebak judgemental attitude but her acting everyone knows how talented she is n national awardee is the answer to ur dumb comment i just hope kangana attitude becomes more good but her acting i wont doubt as she is brilliant.
@@degunbaba5772 kangana doesn't know how to talk? Are you serious?🤣🤣 She is one of the well-spoken actress in Bollywood
She speaks far ahead of her time and age😂🤣
Watching this right after the sad news of Sushant's demise. Last year Zaira received so much hate for her decision to quit the industry for religion. Even I was one of those who believed that she shouldn't have quit her work but amongst all her religious reasoning we forgot that she also said that she didn't find peace in her work. Now I am so happy for this girl that she save d herself and had the guts quit something that disturbed her mental peace. Not that film industry is a bad thing not that I agree with her religious reasonings regarding working in films but there was definitely something that troubled her or just didn't let her be happy. While you all hate her for quitting please understand that it's better that she is alive and happy outside of the industry rather than working in it and harming herself. Please understand the depth behind someone's decision instead of hating.
Very mature for her age,
Zaira wasim is amazing. She is greatest actress in the world.
giving smart answers to all the questions👌
High level of maturity yaar 🤔🤔in this age most of us need guardians guidance.. She is blessed soul..
