Zaira Wasim, a young and talented actor, made history in Indian cinema by starring in Secret Superstar, the highest-grossing film led by a female in India. At just 16, Zaira delivered a powerful performance as an aspiring singer overcoming family struggles, capturing audiences worldwide. Produced by Aamir Khan and directed by Advait Chandan, the movie became a massive success in India and an even bigger hit in China, earning over ₹905 crore globally.
Despite this success and a promising future in Bollywood, Zaira chose a different path. After her third film, The Sky Is Pink, she decided to retire from acting at 18, feeling that it conflicted with her beliefs. Her first two films, Dangal and Secret Superstar, had collectively grossed nearly ₹3000 crore, making her brief career remarkable. Today, Zaira lives a quiet life away from the entertainment industry, focusing on her personal values.
