Former Bollywood actress Sana Khan has explicitly addressed and denied widespread claims that her husband, Mufti Anas Sayed, 'brainwashed' her into leaving the entertainment industry. In recent interviews, Khan clarified that her decision to quit showbiz in October 2020 was an entirely personal one, motivated by a profound search for inner peace and a desire for spiritual transformation. Khan announced her departure from Bollywood, stating her intention to "serve humanity and follow the order of her Creator." She explained that despite achieving fame and financial success, she felt a significant void and struggled with a lack of peace and happiness, which at times led to depression. This internal struggle prompted her to seek a more spiritual path and a meaningful purpose in life. Shortly after her announcement, Sana Khan married Muslim cleric Mufti Anas Sayed on November 21, 2020, in a ceremony described as 'top secret,' with only immediate family aware of the details. While firmly denying any coercion, Khan acknowledged that her husband played a supportive role in her spiritual journey, acting as a guide in her self-transformation. She has expressed deep appreciation for her relationship with Sayed, stating she believes she 'could have never found anyone better than him.' The actress has consistently faced online speculation and criticism suggesting that her husband was the driving force behind her drastic life changes, including her adoption of the hijab. However, she reiterates that the transformation originated from within herself, emphasizing that no one can 'brainwash' an individual unless they are open to such influence. Her narrative firmly establishes her decision as an autonomous choice for personal and spiritual fulfillment.
