After bidding farewell to the media industry, Pakistani actress Ayesha Khan has now revealed the real reason why she left the glamour world at the peak of her career. The decision for her sudden departure from the industry is that the ‘Noor e Zindagi’ actress has gotten engaged.

Earlier this March, Ayesha went on social media to announce her retirement from the drama/movie industry without clearly stating the reason behind this departure. However, the actress recently shared an Instagram post that shocked all of her fans and followers in which she announced that she has gotten engaged to her old friend.

My lovely fans.... to each and every one of you i am forever grateful.

The ‘Waar’ actress officially went off market this past Tuesday and shared this happy news with the world along with a picture of her new beau, Major Uqbah Hadeed. The actress also stated that she has known Uqbah for the past seven years. Ayesha has also asked for some privacy as it is her private matter and as the wedding is expected to be a small family affair.

My fiancé and I are overwhelmed with all the love and prayers that have poured in thus far. I had made my announcement to leave my media career as I now prefer to stay away from the limelight. We got engaged last year and have known each other for several years before. We would request privacy from here on and expect everybody to respect our decision of keeping our wedding a small family affair. Please remember us and our families in your prayers! ??
