Mandana Karimi, the Iranian-born actor and model, has announced her departure from India after nearly 16 years of residence, calling it her second home. During an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Instagram, she shared her emotional struggle in making this decision, stating, 'Goodbye India,' while expressing excitement for 'new beginnings' in a new country. Earlier this year, she revealed to NDTV that her move was primarily due to security concerns, mentioning that she has faced death threats in India. Karimi has been vocal about her support for Iran and has criticized officials, which has taken a toll on her personal life. She lamented the lack of support from friends, the government, and the media during her activism, stating, 'It doesn't feel like home here anymore.' Mandana was last seen in the Netflix film 'Thar'.
