“No one is leaving anything:” Zara Noor Abbas dismisses rumours of quitting showbiz

Renowned actor Zara Noor Abbas dismissed the reports of temporarily quitting showbiz, emphasising that 'expecting mothers can successfully balance work and family life'.

Rumours flared about Abbas taking a break from acting after she hinted at a temporary hiatus in a candid interview with actor Yasir Hussain.

The "Stand Up Girl" actor took to her Instagram story to share a screenshot of a newspaper headline that read, "Zara Noor Abbas temporarily steps back from showbiz industry."

Addressing the rumours, the actress clarified that she's not leaving showbiz, saying "Why don't I make this statement myself?"

The ‘Chhalawa’ starlet asserted that there is a difference between taking a temporary break from acting and quitting work altogether.

“No one is leaving anything. Stop making pregnant women seem like they can’t manage family and work,” she added. 

In a recent interview, she revealed plans for a one-year screen break. However, she never mentioned leaving the entertainment industry and expressed interest in pursuing projects beyond dramas.

The ‘Jhoom’ actor is expecting a baby, which she confirmed in an adorable post on Instagram in November 2023.

With a doughnut in hand and a radiant smile on her face, Abbas delightedly took to Instagram to share the heartwarming news of her pregnancy with her well-wishers.

While Zara didn't make a formal announcement, she subtly hinted at it in the caption, 'Round 2, Insha'Allah,' along with emojis of a baby and family.
