Web Desk: Pakistani versatile actress Saba Qamar has responded to Javeria Abbasi criticism on her viral Karachi remarks.

In a recent interview of Javeria Abbasi, the host asked her about moving to Karachi, in which Javeria Abbasi said a city that grants an individual fame and recognition deserves respect, adding that such expressions were inappropriate.

“She said people maintain a deep emotional attachment to their hometowns and generally refrain from speaking negatively about them.”

On the other hand, taking the matter to Instagram, Saba Qamar put up a story to respond to the ongoing criticism regarding Saba Qamar Karachi remarks.

The actress emphasized the importance of expressing thoughts openly, stating that “freedom of speech is a basic human right and everyone deserves to share their thoughts openly. It's unfortunate that, at times, we still feel limited in what we can say or do. I truly hope we move toward a society where every voice can be heard with respect and without fear.”

Background of the matter

During a show, Saba Qamar was asked by the host: “Are you ready to move to Karachi for work?” To this, she replied: “Astaghfirullah, never – but I shouldn’t say this; you never know what the future holds for me. I just go there, do my work, and come back. I like Islamabad and Lahore.”

“I wouldn’t mind moving to Karachi if someone buys me a house there, although I’ve already built one for myself.” She also said: “I don’t like Karachi. Shift all the projects being shot in Karachi to Islamabad.”
