In a video circulated online, Saheefa discussed the challenges she encounters during the employee recruitment process. She questioned the work ethic of applicants, stating that many do not remain in their positions for an extended duration. “Who are these individuals who arrive merely to work for one or two hours? I genuinely do not comprehend what is occurring in this nation.

My five longstanding staff members have remained, but the new individuals who continuously arrive, I do not even know what sort of luxurious establishment they are seeking,” she expressed. She further mentioned her desire for sincere and dedicated workers, then made a declaration that ignited broad backlash. “I require honest individuals. This time, I desire Pathan boys because I have faith they are true to their word. I no longer place my trust in Punjabi and Urdu-speaking people,” she stated. Saheefa did not clarify the reasoning behind her assertion.

She also outlined particular prerequisites for her cafe employees and emphasized her need for people who are earnest about their employment. “I require competent staff and genuinely pleasant people. I need kitchen assistants capable of executing proper cutting and dicing,” she said. She additionally appealed to the public not to contact her business solely for virtual notoriety. “Please, only serious and respectable people should apply.

Many are applying just to achieve virality after viewing these recordings. They believe they will feature in videos and that concludes their purpose,” she added. Her statements promptly provoked powerful reactions on the internet.

Numerous users charged her with engaging in stereotyping and discriminatory practices. One social media commentator remarked, “Five fingers are not identical. Why issue such a pronouncement?” Another user wrote, “She has inaugurated a new restaurant and desires public attention.” Several other individuals condemned her for speaking negatively about Punjabi and Urdu-speaking communities, labeling the comments as unjust and inflammatory.

Saheefa Jabbar Khattak initiated her professional journey as a fashion model and subsequently transitioned into acting. She achieved acknowledgment for her portrayals in television series including Beti, Bhool, Log Kya Kahengay, Rafta Rafta, and Bhool Ja Ay Dil.
