Pakistani actor Saba Qamar marked the conclusion of Case No. 9 with a heartfelt message on standing up for justice. The drama, which concluded yesterday, portrayed protagonist Sehar overcoming legal battles and societal pressures after surviving sexual assault.
Qamar, who recently received a public apology from journalist Naeem Hanif over defamatory claims, shared on social media that she had “won both cases: Case No. 9 and Case No. 0 (baseless).” She clarified that her intention was not to criticize anyone but to share thoughts that “matter deeply” about dignity and fairness.
Fighting for Rights and Justice
In her statement, Qamar emphasized that society must be kinder and more responsible, particularly in how women are treated. She said women should be supported in their achievements rather than questioned, disrespected, or harmed by false stories and unverified claims.
“True progress lies in lifting each other up, not diminishing one another,” Qamar said, stressing that justice prevailed in her case because she remained steadfast in the truth. She highlighted that respect for women should never be compromised.
Qamar reflected on her experience with Hanif, noting that while apologies are meaningful, society must ask whether a woman’s dignity should ever have been compromised without verification. She reaffirmed that justice is achieved by standing firmly for the truth.
Powerful Message from Drama and Real Life
The actor shared a monologue from the drama in which Sehar says, “If you ever feel wronged, you mustn’t stay quiet. Raise your voice.” She added that fighting for rights early is crucial because delaying action can make a good decision weaker and harder to enforce.
The scenes also portrayed Sehar’s parents expressing remorse for initially advising silence after the assault, reinforcing the importance of support and advocacy for survivors.
Qamar concluded by reminding her audience that the struggle against injustice benefits not only the individual but also future generations. Her post included a video of Hanif’s apology, where he admitted to spreading false claims about her personal life and expressed regret for the harm caused.
Celebrities and Fans Show Support
The post received widespread appreciation from both celebrities and fans. Co-star Aamina Sheikh praised Qamar for making women proud through her courage and resilience. Actor Navin Waqar highlighted that Qamar was presenting “facts,” while Nadia Hussain called her a “warrior princess.” Activist Mehrub Awan referred to her as a “queen.”
The comment section was filled with well-wishers applauding Qamar’s message and celebrating her fight against injustice, demonstrating the influence of her example in advocating for women’s rights and dignity.
