“Zyn Malik Announces Retirement Date,Citing Recent Challenges and Personal Struggles”-…
Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik admitted in a new interview that it’s extremely hard for him to go anywhere in the world without being mobbed by screaming fans. The star’s music career and the fact that he’s dating Gigi Hadid, one of the most famous models in the world, make it tough to “be anonymous now,” he told The Evening Standard.

Born in the United Kingdom, Malik, 24, was brought up as a Muslim by his parents. His mother converted to Islam after they were married, and his father is from Pakistan. According to Malik, he values his heritage with “a strong sense of pride — and duty — in.” He stated, “I was raised in the Islamic faith, therefore it will always be with me, even though I am not practicing right now.” “I really relate to the culture. I am just me, though. I do not want my cultural origin or religion to define me.

According to Malik, he was profiled at airports during the early days of One Direction’s tour. “I went through three security checks before boarding the plane on my first visit to the United States. They first claimed that I had been chosen at random, and then they explained that it had to do with my name and that it was raising an issue on their system,” he remembered.

“It did not get any better when I got to the States,” he claimed. Malik remarked, “It was like a movie,” “They interrogated me about a variety of bizarre topics while I was detained there for three hours. When I arrived in America for the first time at the age of 17, I was puzzled and jet-lagged. The following time, the same thing occurred.
Nevertheless, the musician acknowledged that he recognizes the “degree of prudence” and that there is no “advantage to becoming furious.” Malik is not the first well-known Muslim celebrity to come forward about being singled out by the government. In a piece published by The Guardian last year, “Rogue One” star Riz Ahmed discussed his experiences of being “typecast as a terrorist” both on and off screen.
