Did you know: Lollywood’s Nargis shuns movies to be religious scholar

Says she had decided to quit showbiz six years ago.

After 20 years in Lollywood, Pakistani actor Nargis has decided to bid farewell to showbiz and become a religious scholar, Express News reported on Thursday.

Returning to Pakistan after two years, Nargis held a press conference at her residence in Lahore where she told the media that she had decided to quit showbiz six years ago but had to continue working to pay off debts and for completing her beauty parlour.

Nargis said that she will now pursue religious education and hopes that artists who consider her a role model ideal will also follow the same path.

The host of “Nargis & Naughty Show” is renowned for her gaudy acting and stage performances.


The actor, who claims to be 37 years old, has Lollywood films such as Danda Peer, Shartia Mithay, Mafia, Yaar Badshah, Daaman aur Chingari and Soha Jora to her name.

At the press conference, she rejected accusations that she was involved in the murder of former-beau Juna Butt. Earlier this month, police had arrested a man who claimed that Nargis had offered him Rs1 million to murder Butt, who was a stage producer. Nargis also added that she has faced baseless allegations and that this allegation is part of the same.
