Actress Saba Qamar has disclosed that she fell for a co-star from one of her movies three or four years back, but chose not to identify him publicly at the time.
Qamar shared the story during her very first London meet-and-greet, arranged by Creative Teams to collect donations for SKT Welfare at a public charity function.
Addressing the audience, Qamar said, “He is married now. It feels really strange. It happened a long time ago. Well, maybe not that long ago, perhaps two or four years back. But I had a crush on him. I was in love with him. Maybe I fell in love with his character.”
She made it very clear the individual had actually worked alongside her in a film, not a television drama. “I am not discussing a TV actor. I am discussing a film actor,” she remarked, then just joked, “Oh crap, I have only made two or four films.”
The host of the event jokingly suggested searching for clues online, saying, “Quick, pull up Saba’s filmography. Google it quickly.” Qamar quickly shut that down, replying, “No, skip that, please. Delete this. No one is going to use it.”
She went on to reflect on the experience with humour. “Yes, it happens. You end up liking people, but…” she said, before sharing how her 14-year-old niece had helped her move on. “I was fine after that. My 14-year-old niece told me, ‘Auntie, you were working in the jungle and there was no one around, that’s why your mind had gone crazy.'”
