Saba Faisal, a senior actress, recently went viral after she said that a daughter-in-law should seek permission from her mother-in-law or sister-in-law even if she wants to take a 10-minute nap. Her remarks sparked criticism online, with many calling them old-fashioned and patriarchal.

Despite the backlash, Saba Faisal stood firm on her opinion. She defended her stance and did not withdraw her comments, which further fueled debate on social media.

Journalist and host Rabia Anum later addressed the issue in a podcast. Without directly attacking, she said that guests with problematic views should not be invited to shows if they refuse to learn or reconsider their opinions. Her comments were widely shared and discussed.

Now, Saba Faisal has hit back at Rabia Anum. She advised her to watch the full interview before commenting and criticized her for making statements after briefly returning to Pakistan. Saba added that if her opinion was truly wrong, then people should simply ignore it instead of giving it more attention.

The online reaction has been intense. One user wrote, “Saba Faisal’s children should take away her social media.” Another commented, “Rabia is talking about your statement because what you said was extremely stupid and people need to be educated against it.” A third user remarked, “Condemning Saba’s statement in Ramadan is like Sadqa e Jariya.”
