Sara Chaudhry, former Pakistani model and TV actor, gained immense popularity for acting skills.However, Sara left the media industry in 2010 after a religious awakening, joining the ‘Al Huda’ institute for preaching. Now happily married with children, Sara reflected on her journey.

Recently, Sara appeared on Hafiz Ahmed’s podcast, talking about her journey. “My parents were very into Islam. They focused on prayers and the Quran. My dad made sure I prayed daily, and my mom prayed regularly, even when she was young. We celebrated Ramazan with excitement. I was spiritual and prayed for guidance, wanting to be the person Allah wanted me to be. I found peace in Allah and being good.”

She realized at one point that following Allah’s wishes brings true guidance. “Another incident that guided me was my young aunt’s death at 38. That’s when I chose to leave showbiz. It was a shock and made me rethink. Family restrictions also helped me spiritually. As Sara Chaudhry, I couldn’t hang out much with friends outside. These limits were good for me and helped me on my spiritual path. I didn’t get too involved in the modern side of the media industry.”

Sara Chaudhry explained that she entered showbiz to help her parents have a better life, as she desired a home and basic necessities for them. Being an only child, she prayed for financial stability and siblings due to her parents’ past financial struggles from their early marriage. She recalled, “My father’s friend fetched me a few modelling assignments after which I properly pursued media as a career. Even as a star, I used to be with my parents all the time, so they protected me as well.”
