opening a SherlockFragment activity from non activity class?

i am trying to open a SherlockFragment activity from non activity class using this from an normal activity

Android.app.Activity >> NonActivityClass >> SherlockFragmentActivity

Passing this from Activity class to NonActivityClass and trying to start the SherlockFragmentActivity

Code - 

private void changeFragment(Activity act) {

        Fragment profileFrag = new New_ProfileFragment();
        FragmentTransaction transaction = ((SherlockFragmentActivity) act)
                .getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

        try {
            ((SherlockFragmentActivity) act).getSupportFragmentManager()
                    .popBackStackImmediate(profileFrag.toString(),
                            FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
        } catch (java.lang.IllegalStateException e) {

        }

        transaction.addToBackStack(profileFrag.toString());
        transaction.replace(R.id.content_frame, profileFrag);
        transaction.commitAllowingStateLoss();
        ((SherlockFragmentActivity) act).getSupportFragmentManager()
                .executePendingTransactions();

    }

I am getting error in 

FragmentTransaction transaction = ((SherlockFragmentActivity) act)
                .getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

Exception - java.lang.ClassCastException: activity cannot be cast to com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity

a. You are aware of the fact that ActionBarSherlock has been deprecated for 2 years?

b.

activity cannot be cast to com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity

pretty much says it all. You can't cast an android.app.Activity to a SherlockFragmentActivity because from what I can see SherlockFragmentActivity doesn't extend android.app.Activity .

c. You either have to do 

activity.getFragmentManager()

or, if you must use SupportFragmentManager, you first activity has to be a android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity so you can do 

activity.getSupportFragmentManager()

Either way, get rid of ActionBarSherlock.
