Naeem Hanif responds to Saba Qamar’s legal notice

Journalist Naeem Hanif has addressed the ongoing legal conflict with actress Saba Qamar, following his public remarks about her personal life.

Saba Qamar, one of the most celebrated female talents in Pakistani television and film, is currently facing a legal battle over allegations made by Hanif. The journalist claimed that he had known the actress since the early 2000s when she reportedly lived in a house provided by an admirer. In response, Qamar issued a legal notice, stating her intention to pursue the matter through the courts and denying the accusations.

In a recent podcast, Hanif responded to the legal notice, asserting that he welcomes criticism, a staple of media and digital platforms. He emphasized his experience in the field, noting his ability to distinguish between organic criticism and paid commentary. He added that the issue was not a controversy for him, but rather an opportunity to present his side of the story.

Hanif also spoke about his long-standing career in journalism, acknowledging the challenges of working under censorship. He made it clear that he is unafraid of bans or legal notices, standing firm in his professional stance. “I’ve always kept my journalism clean and credible,” he stated, reaffirming his commitment to integrity in his work.
