Pakistani actress Saba Qamar has found strong support from fellow stars Durefishan Saleem and Ayesha Omar as she continues her legal battle against journalist Naeem Hanif. The actress recently filed a Rs. 100 million defamation case over alleged false and defamatory remarks made by the journalist.
The case quickly became a hot topic on social media, with several celebrities praising Saba Qamar’s courage to stand up for herself. Durefishan Saleem, known for her role in Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, shared a heartfelt note on Instagram, applauding Saba’s strength. “@sabaqamarzaman consistently showing, both on and off screen, what it means to stand tall at the right moment—my fav genre,” she wrote.
Saba responded warmly by reposting the story and adding, “It’s important, my love.”
Ayesha Omar also voiced her support, writing, “@sabaqamarzaman so proud of you for setting a precedent. More power to you, my love.” In reply, Saba Qamar thanked her, saying, “Thanks, love! It was much needed. He’s been defaming big names in my fraternity, and this time I’m taking it up formally. He will face the consequences of his actions.”
Earlier this week, Saba shared photos of legal documents filed by her legal team. The documents claim that Naeem Hanif made derogatory comments about her during a podcast, questioning her morals and professional achievements.
The notice demands a public apology, removal of the defamatory content, and Rs. 100 million in damages. It also warns that further legal action will be taken if the demands are not met within seven days.
As the legal battle unfolds, Saba Qamar’s determination has sparked a wider conversation about defamation and respect in the entertainment industry. Many fans and colleagues have applauded her for taking a firm stand for her dignity and professional integrity.
