She wants new brides to ask for permission to rest
(Web Desk) - Actor Saba Faisal has again come under intense public scrutiny following remarks made during a recent morning show appearance.
The controversy surfaced shortly after she faced backlash for earlier comments about brides consulting mothers-in-law for wedding outfits.
During her latest television interview, Faisal offered advice to newly married women that sparked strong reactions online.
Appearing on a private television morning show, the senior actor discussed marriage dynamics and household expectations after marriage.
She stated that when guests visit the in-laws’ home, the mother-in-law usually manages hosting duties.
According to Faisal, new brides are not responsible for entertaining guests during such gatherings.
She suggested that if a bride feels tired, the mother-in-law should ideally ask her to rest.
However, she added that if no such offer is made, the bride should approach her mother-in-law directly.
Faisal further advised that brides could also seek permission from a married sister-in-law if needed.
Emphasising communication, she said that the tone used by a bride can influence how requests are received.
She remarked that direct statements may not be well received by in-laws.
According to her, polite requests could encourage cooperation even from strict mothers-in-law.
The remarks quickly triggered criticism across social media platforms, where users expressed frustration and disbelief.
One social media user wrote: “She seriously needs to stop giving interviews.”
Another user asked bluntly: “Can we please cancel her?”
A third comment questioned: “Is it susral or jail?”
The backlash gained traction as clips from the show circulated widely online.
In response to the criticism, Faisal addressed the controversy through a post on her Instagram account.
Sharing a screenshot, she accused critics of deliberately twisting her words.
She wrote: “Evil people are exactly the kind who completely change the direction of a conversation.”
Faisal also urged people to stop spreading misinformation and misrepresenting her statements.
She added: “Don’t do all this. You won’t get more fame or followers than what is already written in your destiny.”
