Sana Khan addresses trolls of her husband ‘brainwashing’ her

Recently, Sana Khan and her husband, Mufti Anas Sayed had a candid conversation with actress, Rashami Desai, during which the former actress opened up about the claims against her husband. Sana shared that after her marriage, she was going through several changes in her life. Amidst that, she herself decided to leave the world of glitz and glamour. And her husband guided her towards it. In her words:

"The situation was such that major changes were happening in my life. I was literally transforming into a different person. And this was not something caused by my husband, it was something I wanted for myself. He was the one who guided me in that direction."

Sana Khan further revealed that many users had accused Mufti Anas Sayed of brainwashing her to quit acting; however that was not true. Sana shared that she left the industry because she wanted inner peace. She was quoted as saying:

"Nobody can brainwash you; it’s never like that. I wanted peace. A person may get money, fame, name, and respect, but eventually, they keep searching for inner peace. They say that when your surroundings aren’t right, your decisions also tend to be wrong. As time passed, I learned a few things, and that’s why I value my relationship with him so much. I keep telling my husband that I could have never found anyone better than him. It was indeed a tough decision, but I went for it."

Sana Khan’s extended family was unaware of her wedding with Mufti Anas Sayed

During the same chat with Rashami Desai, Sana Khan opened up about her private wedding ceremony with Mufti Anas Sayed and revealed that except her mom and dad, nobody knew about her wedding or even the name of the groom. She also mentioned that her extended family first met Mufti Anas Sayed in a mosque. Sana Khan shared:

"When our marriage was finalised, it was a top secret, nobody knew except for my mom and dad. Nobody even knew the groom’s name. When I was applying mehendi, the mehendi artist asked me what the groom’s name was. I told her to leave it blank, we’ll write it next time. When my cousins saw him in the mosque, they called my cousin sister and said, ‘This is Maulana Anas'."
