“What will I do after observing Pardah?”
Pakistani actress Saba Faisal found herself embroiled in controversy after she spoke about her stance on Pardah.
This happened after a live session on Instagram where she responded defiantly to a comment about her dressing sense.
When a fan advised Saba Faisal to cover herself up, she retorted.
She questioned the necessity of altering her attire, implying that her profession as an actress necessitates a certain level of exposure.
Saba asked: “What will I do after observing Pardah?”
She further emphasised the personal nature of one’s relationship with God.
Moreover, Saba dismissed the unsolicited advice, asserting her choice to dress as she pleases.
Saba Faisal stressed the importance of good deeds over outward appearances, sparking a debate on societal norms and personal freedoms.
Following the circulation of the viral clip, she faced significant backlash from critics who condemned her remarks.
Many chastised her for not following the traditional standards of modesty, especially given her status as an older woman.
The criticism intensified as social media users expressed their disappointment.
The incident reignited discussions about the role of public figures in shaping societal norms and the perceived responsibility they have.
Despite the backlash, Saba Faisal remained resolute in her stance, refusing to apologise for her comments.

Some individuals were applauding her for speaking out against societal pressures and advocating for personal freedom.
One person said: “At the end of the day she is right, it is her life and her personal matter with Allah, who are we to comment?”
Another wrote: “The fact that these comments come from the same men who follow all Instagram models with revealing clothes.”
One said:
“Is something wrong with Pakistanis? Why don’t we let anyone breathe?”
Another remarked: “She is absolutely right just because she is doing something wrong doesn’t mean it should bother anyone else it’s none of your business people need to focus on their own lives instead of criticising celebrities.”
However, others criticised her defiance of cultural norms and values.
One criticised: “So disappointed, it’s always the celebrities who we thought were decent end up like this.”
Another wrote: “She is an old lady, why is she trying to act like she is still young and attractive.”
One commented: “Woman please, if you don’t like taking good advice from fans then don’t comment on them and say something against your religious instructions.”
Saba Faisal has previously stood firmly against any backlash she faced and she still remains resolute.
