Sana Khan Opens Up About Her Secret Wedding and Showbiz Exit
Former Bigg Boss season 6 contestant Sana Khan recently made a candid appearance on a podcast with Rashami Desai. During the conversation, she shared intimate details about her personal life that have remained private for years.
The Decision to Leave Showbiz
Sana Khan shocked the entertainment industry in 2020 when she announced her decision to quit showbiz. She revealed that this choice came from a deep desire to serve humanity and follow her spiritual path. The actress explained that she wanted genuine peace in her life, which she found lacking in her showbiz career.
Secret Wedding to Mufti Anas Sayed
Sana married Mufti Anas Sayed on November 21, 2020, in a ceremony kept completely secret from the public and most of her acquaintances. She described the wedding preparations as top secret, with even the mehndi artist kept in the dark about the groom's identity.
"When I was applying mehndi, the mehndi artist asked me what the groom's name was," Sana recalled. "I told her to leave it blank; we'll write it next time."
Only her immediate family members knew about the marriage plans. Sana deliberately kept the information private because she didn't want anyone to influence her decision.
Finding Peace Through Marriage
Sana expressed that marrying Mufti Anas Sayed represents one of the best decisions of her life. She emphasized that peace became her primary motivation when she met her now-husband. This encounter ultimately led to her decision to leave the entertainment industry entirely.
"In my heart, I wanted to get married to him as peace is very important to me," she stated during the podcast conversation.
Addressing Rumors and Industry Reactions
Sana directly addressed circulating rumors suggesting her husband brainwashed her into quitting showbiz. She firmly called these claims false, asserting that her decision came from personal conviction rather than external influence.
She also spoke about how friends from the entertainment industry distanced themselves after learning about her marriage and career change. This experience led her to question the authenticity of those relationships.
"People distanced themselves from me when they found out," Sana revealed. "Then I realized that these were fake relationships, because if they were real, they would have supported me whether I was like this or like that."
Life After Showbiz
Since leaving the entertainment industry, Sana has focused on her family life and spiritual journey. She often shares pictures with her son on social media, giving followers glimpses into her personal world. Her podcast appearance marks one of her rare public discussions about the transition from celebrity life to her current path.
The former actress maintains that her choices have brought her the peace she desperately sought, despite the distance created with some former colleagues and industry contacts.
