Saba Faisal is a prominent Pakistani television actress who has delivered memorable performances in major hit dramas, including Humsafar, Pyarey Afzal, Ishq Tamasha, Bandhay Ek Dori Se, Ghisi Piti Mohabbat, Khaie, Baby Baji, and Chand Tara. Beyond her screen presence, she is widely recognized for her controversial, bold, and regressive public statements, often openly supporting patriarchal norms and male dominance. She recently defended Jamal Shah amid his domestic violence dispute with Faryal Gohar, sparking intense online debate from fans who accused her of always taking the wrong side.
When host Hina Salman brought up these public reactions during a recent interview with Faryal Gohar and asked for her take on the actresses who spoke against her, Faryal Gohar simply responded that she does not even know who Saba Faisal is.
Faryal Gohar said, “I don’t even recall her, how she looked, okay, like Saba Faisal. I don’t know who she is. I don’t even watch television. Is she an actor? I think she may have played a small role somewhere. Yes, I do know about Saba Hameed. I know her very well, knew her because her father was a member of the progressive school of journalism. I met her at the Youm-e-Shuhada event of 6 September. She was one of the guests at GHQ, and I was hosting the event. Otherwise, I have nothing to do with TV personalities.”
