Veteran actress Saba Faisal’s comments about divorce have sparked a fresh debate online, prompting reactions from fellow actresses Hira Khan and Zoya Nasir.
The discussion began after a video featuring Saba Faisal circulated on social media. In the video, she reflected on changing attitudes toward marriage and divorce.
Saba compared the way families viewed divorce in the past with what she described as a more casual attitude today.
Hira Khan Responds to Saba Faisal
Hira Khan responded to Saba’s remarks through an Instagram Story.
She shared a brief but strongly worded message, writing, “Janazay uthanay se behtar hain maa baap apne sir jhuka lein. Honestly, I have said it before and I will say it again – she needs help :)”
The Urdu portion of Hira’s statement conveyed the view that parents should accept a difficult situation rather than face the pain of carrying their child’s funeral bier.
Hira also said she had expressed the same view previously and stood by it.
Her response quickly drew attention as the debate around Saba’s comments continued online.
What Did Saba Faisal Say About Divorce?
In the viral video, Saba Faisal discussed how families traditionally reacted when a marriage ended.
She recalled a time when divorce was considered deeply painful for the entire family. According to Saba, relatives would spend considerable time questioning what had gone wrong.
She also said a father could feel deeply ashamed when his daughter’s marriage ended.
Saba then contrasted that mindset with what she believes is a changing social attitude toward separation.
She described an example involving a divorced woman who discussed her separation casually and travelled abroad to clear her mind.
Saba’s comments focused on what she sees as a shift in society’s approach to marriage and divorce.
Zoya Nasir Also Criticises the Narrative
Hira Khan was not the only actress to react.
Zoya Nasir also commented on a related social media post discussing Saba’s remarks.
“Oh. My. God. I have SO much to say! With all due respect, What a dangerous and twisted narrative,” Zoya wrote.
She did not elaborate further on her criticism. However, her comment showed that she disagreed with the viewpoint being discussed.
Debate Over Marriage and Divorce Continues
The reactions from Hira and Zoya have added another dimension to the online discussion.
Social media users are now debating marriage, divorce, family expectations and changing social attitudes.
While some discussions focus on preserving the traditional importance attached to marriage, others question whether greater acceptance of divorce allows people to leave difficult relationships without social stigma.
Saba Faisal’s remarks and the reactions from fellow actresses have therefore opened a wider conversation about how society discusses separation and the expectations placed on married couples.
