ACTRESS Mandana Karimi has decided to leave India, biding goodbye to her ‘second home’ after almost 16 years. She took to the Stories section of her Instagram and communicated her decision to the netizens during a recent AMA (Ask Me Anything) session. One of the users asked Mandana, "Have you left Mumbai for good? Do you miss the city?" Reacting to the inquiry, she uploaded a video of herself from the airport, saying,“I never could imagine or believe that I could say, but Goodbye India.”

 

“This is going to be hard. But after almost 16 years in India, its finally… leaving behind my second home… and here it is to new beginnings. New country, new home, new everything," she went on to add. Previously, during a media interaction Mandana had confirmed that she was planning to leave India due to security concerns. In March, Mandana disclosed that she will not be going back to Iran as she had been banned there a decade ago.
