Meet actor who became famous villain, gave competition to Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, quit acting to become Maulana, his name is...
Taking to Instagram, Arif once shared a video of himself and captioned it, 'Janab Arif Khan Sahab (Ex-Bollywood Actor).' In the video, he introduces himself and shares that he turned to a life of spirituality.
In the video, Arif Khan said, 'You must have seen my film Phool Aur Kaante from 1991. It was a hugely popular film in India. That was my and Ajay Devgn's first film. I was full of youthful energy at 23 years old. After that, I worked in 14-15 more films and TV serials. I had a life full of respect, wealth, and fame. But later, Allah showed me the right path, my life changed, and today, I am here (sic).' How Arif Khan Became a Maulana in Tablighi Jamaat
Before switching fields, Arif did various prestigious films including Hooni Ilaaka, Veergati, Muskurahat, Mohra, Mohabbat, and Jang. Not just movies, Arif also tried his luck in television and featured in TV shows.
Despite some good performances, Arif failed to establish himself as an actor in the industry. It was during this time that he realized his calling was different. He opted to walk out of the film industry and took a keen interest in spirituality.
He chose to devote his life to spirituality by becoming a Maulana with the Tablighi Jamaat, dedicating himself to practicing Islam and spreading its teachings. Why Arif Khan Left Bollywood
In one of his interviews, Arif revealed that he felt restless while working in the showbiz industry. Not just that, he also started questioning his own integrity and wondered what could be the reason producers were not casting him in big-budget films. As a result, Arif got indulged in alcohol and became an addict.
After spending nearly 7-8 years in the film industry, Arif Khan devoted his life to spreading the message of truth and chose the path of becoming a Maulana.
