SZA Takes A 10-Day Vow of Silence in India as Her Movie Opens

SZA revealed she is about to embark on a 10-day vow of silence in India as her debut movie One of Them Days is released.

The singer-songwriter (real name Solána Imani Rowe) shared her excitement about the film’s release before the vow of silence kicked off via an Instagram post on Friday, January 17.

“Man listen. I’m in India and they ‘bout to take my phone in 7 hours for a 10 day vow of silence😭 , but I COULD NOT MISS RELEASE DAY !!” SZA, 35, wrote. “I swear to God this was the most unique experience of my entire life!”

Referencing her producer Issa Rae and costar Keke Palmer, SZA added, “When I signed on for this movie I literally didn’t think a single thing through other than ‘gaddamn I love Issa and Keke what an honor.’ I didn’t think of how I was actively on tour and wouldn’t get to rehearse or prepare, I didn’t think how I had a deluxe to finish or factor in that I actually had to be on camera at any point 😂😭 (like duh, dummy.) That sounds insane but that’s how much I love respect and admire these women !! NO THOUGHTS JUST YES.”
