Sana Khan recently opened up about her journey of embracing the hijab and how this decision transformed her life. She revealed that wearing the hijab was a deeply personal choice that stemmed from a desire for spiritual peace and connection with her faith. During, a chat with Rubina Dilaik for her podcast, Sana shared how the decision of wearing Hijab forever surprised her husband Mufti Anas Syed.
Speaking about embracing Hijab, Sana shared, "When I took the decision of wearing Hijab my husband didn’t knew, in fact that time he was not my husband we were in the process of getting to know each other. I had started wearing scarf during COVID so everyone thought it was because of the pandemic. I remember it was my birthday and I had called for some scarfs and dusre din se maine pehna shuru kar diya and that’s when I decided I would never remove it ever again."
She continued, "Then I informed Anas that I have taken up Hijab forever. He was like are you sure? Pakka? Tum dekho hosh mein kaam karna josh mein nahi… Aaj pehnogi Kal Utaarogi, soch ke karo. Take your time and understand the importance. I told him I’ve understood well. Anas has been a person in my life who has always highlighted good things. He has positively influenced me."
The former actress recalled how during her vacation in the Maldives, photos of her wearing abayas quickly went viral, drawing admiration and support from many. She shared how surprised and overwhelmed she was by the positive response to these images. "One thing that I saw was with the Muslim crowd. Joh ladies Muslim ho Yaa modest ladies ho… they would say we earlier felt if you are going to Maldives you have to wear short clothes or swimwear only. Joh celebrities pehan ke dikhate hain… but when we saw your picture we realised we can enjoy at Maldives even wearing Abayas. Then I saw so many families who actually went to Maldives who I knew and they wore Abaya. They shared with me how they told their husbands that Sana wore so why can’t we? I didn’t even think that it could bring this change. I was like main toh abaya he pehenti hoon Yehi pehenke ghoomungi Maldives mein. I literally wore Jilbabs, abaya, scarf. My husband and I were playing table tennis were my hijab. Imagine in my Hijaab I’m going snorkeling. We enjoyed so much there."
She revealed how there were few people who commented on her choice of clothes for a beach vacation, "Imagine I went to Maldives and people were writing “Aur kapde pehen leti”, Chadar oadh leti… because I was in my Abaya. I can’t feel angry on them because they don’t know what they are saying, I let go of these people. They don’t have knowledge about why I have suddenly had this change. I should not feel bad about it."
For the uninitiated, Sana Khan first rose to fame with her appearance on Bigg Boss 6, where she made a lasting impression on viewers with her lively personality and charm. Hosted by Salman Khan, the show helped Sana gain widespread recognition and opened doors to a successful career in the entertainment industry. However, in a surprising turn of events, Sana announced in October 2020 that she was stepping away from the glamour of showbiz to follow a more spiritual path.
