Karachi: Popular Pakistani actress Saba Qamar, often praised for her powerful performances, has once again become the center of social media debate — but this time not for her acting or drama roles.
The controversy began after Saba Qamar’s recent appearance on a podcast, where she was asked if she would consider moving to Karachi. In response, the actress said:
“Astaghfirullah… I don’t like Karachi at all.”
Her remark quickly went viral, sparking outrage among Karachi residents and fans across Pakistan. Many social media users criticized the actress for her comment, calling it disrespectful toward the country’s largest city.
Some users reminded her that Karachi played an important role in shaping her acting career, questioning why she would now speak negatively about it. Others demanded an apology, arguing that celebrities should show more respect when expressing personal opinions about any city or community.
As the hashtag #SabaQamar began trending, reactions ranged from disappointment to calls for boycotting her upcoming projects. Despite the backlash, the actress has not yet issued any clarification or response regarding her statement.
