Former actor Zaira Wasim recently took to Instagram to caution her fans after discovering mold in a dessert from a bakery in Srinagar. On Saturday, Zaira shared a brief video on her Instagram Stories, revealing the mold hidden inside a pie.
The former Bollywood star, who was behind the camera in the clip, rotated the plate to clearly show the mold. Along with the video, she advised her followers, “People, check twice before you consume stuff from local bakeries,” accompanied by a teary-eyed smiley face emoji. She also added, “Mold in the pie,” and tagged the location as Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. However, Zaira chose not to disclose the name of the bakery or provide any further details.
Zaira made her Bollywood debut in 2016 at the age of 16. She played the younger version of Geeta Phogat, popular Haryanvi wrestler and the daughter of Mahavir Singh Phogat, veteran wrestler played by producer-actor Aamir Khan in Nitesh Tiwari’s blockbuster sports drama Dangal. The film, also starring Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Aparshakti Khurana, Sakshi Tanwar, and Suhani Bhatnagar, became one of the highest-grossing Indian films worldwide.
Zaira then played the lead role in Advait Chandan’s 2017 coming-of-age musical blockbuster Secret Superstar. She played a young Muslim girl who is a closeted singer and uploads YouTube videos of her singing wearing a burqa and calling herself a ‘secret superstar.’ The film, also starring Meher Vij and producer Aamir in an extended guest appearance, also became a raging success worldwide, particularly in China. Despite its modest budget of just Rs 15 crores, Secret Superstar amassed an impressive box office collection of Rs 965 crores worldwide. In a time when Bollywood frequently produces high-budget films worth 500-600 crores, Secret Superstar stands out as a shining example of how fresh and original content can surpass conventional norms.
Zaira ended her acting career in 2019 at just 18 years old after appearing in Shonali Bose’s film The Sky Is Pink. She portrayed a young girl fighting a terminal illness alongside Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, and Rohit Saraf.
