Saba Qamar warns journalist of legal action for defaming her

(Web Desk) - Veteran Pakistani actress Saba Qamar, a leading name in television and film for nearly twenty years, has announced that she will be taking legal action against journalist Naeem Hanif after he made controversial claims about her private life.

Amid the social media buzz, Naeem Hanif shared statements about the actress’s alleged past relationships, which have since drawn sharp criticism.

Hanif, who often comments on the personal lives of entertainment figures, claimed that Saba Qamar lived in Lahore around 2003–2004 with a man she was romantically involved with. He further alleged that the relationship ended without marriage and that the man later began to harass her.

Responding firmly, Saba Qamar rejected the claims as fabricated, defamatory, and damaging, confirming that she has decided to pursue a legal case against the journalist.

She stressed that spreading unverified information about someone’s personal life is both irresponsible and harmful, particularly when done through media platforms.

The matter quickly gained traction on social media, with many users voicing their support for the actress.

One person wrote, “Why only target Saba? Why not reveal the man’s name too?”

Another commented, “Good on Saba for taking a stand — false rumors must have consequences.”

Fans and fellow actors have widely praised Saba Qamar’s response, viewing it as a powerful stance against character attacks and sensational journalism. Many hope her decision will set an example for other public figures dealing with similar personal defamation in the media.
