Javeria Saud responds to Saba Qamar's controversial comment about Karachi

Saba Qamar, one of Pakistan's most celebrated actresses, is known for her impeccable talent and diverse roles across television and film. Recently, she made a strong return to the small screen with Case No. 9 and Pamaal, two shows that have been making waves. However, her recent comments about Karachi have sparked a heated debate among fans and celebrities alike.

During a recent interview, Saba was asked whether she would ever consider moving to Karachi. Without hesitation, she responded with "ASTAGHFIRULLAH," a remark that quickly went viral, drawing backlash from Karachiites who found it offensive.

In response to the controversy, fellow actress Javeria Saud, who is a proud Karachiite, spoke out. Javeria responded to Iffat Omar, asserting that Karachi is not dirty, but rather, it is the mindset of certain individuals that needs changing. She emphasized that, as a resident of Karachi, this was her perspective.

While some social media users supported Saba Qamar’s right to express her opinion about the city, others shared their own frustrations with the state of Karachi. One user commented, “I was born and raised in Karachi, but it’s becoming inhabitable due to the filth.” Another said, “Karachiites need to take a stand against their governance to clean up the city.” Some defended Saba's comment, noting that everyone has the right to like or dislike any place, and perhaps Saba simply prefers her own city.
