Career[edit]
Peerzada always wanted to be an actress and "could not wait to act in a movie".

As she was very close to Yash Chopra, his death disturbed her and In a process of looking for an answer to afterlife she came across the videos of Islamic speakers like Nouman Ali Khan, Zakir Naik and Yasmin Mogahed. After watching the videos and reading Islamic books, she quit everything and turned to Islamic Studies. Her story is known as "YRF (Yash Raj Films) To IRF (Islamic Research Foundation)".[6]
