Pakistan’s only female actor to be nominated in the prestigious Filmfare Best Actress category, Saba Qamar is amongst the biggest names of Pakistani film & television fraternity.
The Cheekh actress has become a household name with her blockbuster dramas and impressive characters such as Fouzia in Baaghi and Mannat in Cheekh.
The Pani Jaisa Pyar diva was always lured by Bollywood directors and producers for leading roles but she dared to refuse the movies and work on her own terms.
Saba refused Diana Penty’s role in Cocktail, Sonam Kapoor’s role in Delhi 6 and an undisclosed movie opposite Emraan Hashmi and Randeep Hooda which she mentioned on Tonite With HSY (season 1).
She was also approached for a parallel role in Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal (2009).
The Hindi Medium star mentioned that she will only work with A-listers like Khans and Kapoors as she is an A-list actress here in Pakistan. She wouldn’t compromise on the production value and the team that she would work with.
In another interview she stated that she made some immature decisions of saying no to big budget Bollywood films in the early stage of her career.
Saba made her Bollywood debut in 2017 with Hindi Medium opposite Irrfan Khan.
On the work front, she’ll be seen next in Sarmad Khoosat’s Kamli.
