Former actor Sana Khan said the narrative that her husband “brainwashed” her into quitting showbiz is misplaced, arguing that such a change can’t be imposed from outside. She framed her decision as personal: she was seeking “inner peace” over fame and status.
The ‘top secret’ wedding: even the groom’s name wasn’t shared
Sana said their marriage process was kept highly confidential, adding that only her parents knew details, and she didn’t disclose the groom’s name even when asked during her mehendi.
“Major change” phase and her husband’s role
In the same conversation, Sana said she was going through a major transformation at the time and described her husband as someone who helped guide her through that phase—without claiming he caused the decision.
Context: quitting in 2020, marriage soon after
Sana had announced in October 2020 that she was leaving the entertainment industry and later married Mufti Anas Saiyad in November 2020 in a close-knit ceremony; the couple now have two children, according to the report.
Another detail she flagged
Sana also noted that Anas and his family covered most of the wedding expenses, which she contrasted with common expectations around wedding spending.
