Karachi (Web Desk): Veteran actress Saba Faisal has stirred debate after sharing advice for young brides on Nida Yasir’s morning show.

During the interview, Saba Faisal addressed girls preparing to marry and viewers, saying that when they want to rest at their in-laws’ house, they should ask politely rather than demand.

She suggested that saying “May I rest for a bit?” instead of “I am tired and need to sleep” would make even strict mothers-in-law more likely to allow it.

Saba Faisal’s advice for newlywed brides quickly went viral and received strong reactions online.

Many netizens criticized her point of view, calling it outdated and arguing that women shouldn’t feel they must phrase simple needs carefully to avoid confrontation. Others joked that polite requests shouldn’t be necessary just to rest.

The discussion sparked debates on social media about women’s roles in families and how societal expectations continue to influence behavior in households. Clips of her advice circulated widely, attracting attention and criticism.
