Former Bollywood actress Sana Khan has firmly dismissed claims that her husband, Mufti Anas Sayed, “brainwashed” her into quitting the film industry and turning towards religion. She said the decision to leave Bollywood was entirely her own and was driven by her search for inner peace.
Sana Khan, who announced her exit from showbiz in 2020, has often been the subject of online speculation and criticism. Some social media users have alleged that her husband influenced or pressured her to give up acting and adopt a religious lifestyle.

She said that her decision came from deep personal reflection and was not influenced by marriage or any external pressure. “Nobody can brainwash you,” she said, adding that she chose this path because she wanted peace in her life. According to Sana, she was already questioning her purpose and direction long before she got married.
Sana explained that while she had fame, money, and success in Bollywood, she felt something was missing. She said that despite achieving what many people dream of, she did not feel satisfied or calm from within. This inner restlessness led her to rethink her priorities and the meaning of success.
She also clarified that her husband has always been supportive but never controlling. Sana said Mufti Anas Sayed simply guided her when she asked questions, but the desire to change her life came from her own heart. She described her marriage as a source of support and stability, not pressure.
Talking about her journey after leaving Bollywood, Sana said she now feels more content and spiritually fulfilled. She spends her time focusing on faith, family, and helping others. She believes that real happiness does not always come from fame or public attention, but from peace of mind.
Sana also addressed the wider issue of judging women for their life choices. She said that when a woman chooses a modern lifestyle, society calls it “freedom”, but when she chooses religion, people question her independence. She stressed that true freedom is the ability to choose one’s own path without fear or criticism.
The former actress said she respects all professions and does not criticise the film industry, but her personal journey led her away from it. She added that every individual has the right to evolve and make decisions that bring them closer to peace and purpose.
Sana Khan rose to fame through films, television appearances, and reality shows before quitting Bollywood. Today, she says she has no regrets and feels confident about her decision. “I chose peace,” she said, reaffirming that her transformation was a conscious and personal choice, not the result of anyone’s influence.
