During her recent appearance on a private TV channel’s Ramadan transmission, with fellow veteran Hina Khawaja Bayat, actor Saba Faisal spoke about the common practice of co-actors of calling her ‘aapa’ or ‘Aunty’, even when they are older or of the same age as her.
She said, “I tell them not to call me Aunty, I don’t want to be called that.”
At another point in the conversation, the veteran recalled a recent incident when one of her statements was taken out of context and pasted as a news headline by several media outlets, sparking a lot of discussion around it.
“A few months ago, people misunderstood something I said on a chat show,” remembered the ‘Habs’ actor.
“It happened when the host asked if I still receive marriage proposals, to which I responded, ‘I do get them from young boys and tell them to approach my grandson’,” Faisal explained. “Unfortunately, that statement was misinterpreted and how. It was highlighted and spread everywhere, leading to a lot of unnecessary discussion.”
On the work front, the veteran was last seen in ARY Digital’s hit drama serials, ‘Sar-e-Rah‘ and ‘Samjhota‘.
