Mumbai, July 8: Dangal Girl’ Zaira Wasim is making headlines these days. Ever since she decided to quit Bollywood, she has been in the spotlight and has decided that Bollywood will no longer be seen. There were also reports of her joining the ‘Big Boss’ in the past. But recently, there has been a news item that we’re going to tell. Let’s know if she’s going to appear on the show.

According to the latest reports, Zyra has rejected the offer. According to a tweet, Zyra was introduced to The Big Boss-13. He was offered Rs 1.2 crore, but Zyra has rejected the offer. He refused to be part of the show and showed no interest in the offer. Just as she has turned away from Bollywood, she has rejected the show without thinking.

In the Big Boss’s nature, the news of Zyra’s offer can be gauged, as the show has always been a contestant who has been effective in boosting TRP. More recently, Zyra has been in the limelight over her decision to quit Bollywood in the name of religion. Zyra explained her decision via Facebook post. That is, she’s completely alienated from the world of acting and curtains. Her last film, The Sky, is the Pink in which she is about to be seen. (Agencies)

After some recent health issues and consequent investigations in Delhi, I’ve been diagnosed with a chronic Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (bone-marrow disorder) called Polycythemia Vera (PV). The treatment and management of the disorder was initiated immediately.

The prognosis, the doctors tell me, is “very good”. I’ve been told that – with proper management, healthy lifestyle choices and regulars treatment and monitoring – I should be able to live a healthy, normal and productive life for many many years.

I look forward to being back to work this week and will continue my treatment schedule and regime while working. This is a battle I intend to fight and fight with conviction and positivity. I needed to put this out to dispel whispers and rumors about my health.

So I look forward to being back in Srinagar in the next couple of days and am grateful and humbled by the calls and messages. If anything, I intend to work harder – doing what I’ve set my heart on – delivering change in and ‘Reimagining Srinagar’ – our Srinagar. Cheers.
