The former young actress also wrote in her blog, talking about her struggles in showbiz.

“It was music to my ears when I heard the director yell ‘action!’ but after ‘cut!’ I was unhappy,” she wrote.

She also shared that as an introvert, she was not comfortable with the glitz and glamour, the parties and social gatherings she had to be part of.

“I wasn’t fond of the pretentiousness of the glitz, glamour and the masquerades. Being an introvert I never did like to socialize or share my whole life on TV. But I guess I had to learn to fit in though I detested it. It always made me so inarticulate since I was and still a very private person,” she wrote.

Four years since turning her back in showbiz, Queenie said that she is now happy and contented with her private life.

“Looking into my life now, nearly 4 years on as a Muslim struggling to practice my religion, I am still happy and until now I never felt the emptiness I felt back then. But I have realized that trials and tribulations can also make you feel ‘lost.’

“No matter what situation you are in, what status or position you hold, what job you have, the condition of your heart, trials and tribulations are a part of life,” she wrote.

It was in 2011 when Queenie bid farewell to showbiz, citing her religion as a one of the reasons.

Queenie’s father played a vital role in her entrance as famous actress in film and drama industry.

Queenie did not embrace Islam for any other reason like marriage etc. but she purely convert to Islam just because she felt Islam is a true religion and it has capacity to organize her life, give her purpose and vanish her false dreams and wishes which caused her depression as she said,

“When I was in showbiz, I was very unhappy. I was lost and I always felt I never belong. But now that Allah is in my life…I am so happy and content”

Queenie said while answering the question why she left Showbiz life,
“It’s forbidden for us to be in show business because it requires you to show your entire body. Actually, I already quit [showbiz].

Her father, Robin also inclined towards Islam. But the changes what father witness in her beloved daughter were tremendous in his words, as Robin said when he saw her daughter converting to Islam not just emotionally but how firm she seems in her believe as he said,

“I saw this glow in her that I’ve never seen growing up as a child. Everything that came out from her mouth was all about Islam and Allah. And she was reading the Quran constantly and listening to lectures and she wore the hijab. I asked her if she was afraid of wearing the hijab in this society. She said she wasn’t because she has piety, and that’s all that matters.”Now Queenie Padilla is not just a practicing Muslim, but also doing hard work and using her influence so the sake of Islamic preaching. Nowadays, Queenie speaks with a conviction about Islam not like previously seen in some of her TV interviews, in which she appeared reserved and even a little nervous due to her newly conversion.
