Actor Mandana Karimi has expressed her frustration with the current situation in India amid the US-Iran conflict. Born in Iran, Mandana has now taken to her Instagram account to clarify to fans that she has taken the decision to leave India and bid goodbye to her ‘second home’ after almost 16 years.
Mandana shared a video of herself recording a statement from the airport, in which she said, “I never could imagine or believe that I could say, but Goodbye India.”
She went on to add, “This is going to be hard. But after almost 16 years in India, it's finally time to leave behind my second home… and here it is to new beginnings. New country, new home, new everything.”
Mandana had previously shared that she will not move to Iran because she was banned there a decade ago. She expressed her disappointment with India for not providing her support during the US-Iran conflict, stating that she was stuck at one place due to security reasons and couldn't even share her location with her closest friends.
The actor was last seen in the 2022 Netflix film Thar and has taken a break from acting in recent years. She was also part of the reality show Lock Upp (2022).
