The acclaimed actress faced intense online criticism after sharing photos of her traditional rituals at the Bibi Pak Daman Shrine.
Pakistani actress Saba Qamar recently found herself at the center of a heated online debate after sharing moments from her spiritual journey. The screen icon visited the historic Bibi Pak Daman Shrine in Lahore last night to pay her respects. While the actress sought a quiet moment of devotion, her public sharing of the visit quickly ignited a firestorm of criticism across various social media platforms.
The celebrated star has built an illustrious career portraying complex, strong-willed characters on television. Fans of Saba Qamar have long lauded her stellar performances in critically acclaimed dramas such as Baaghi, Cheekh, and the recent hit Muamma. Her ability to command the screen has made her one of the most sought-after talents in the Pakistani entertainment industry, making her personal life a subject of constant public interest.
During her visit to the revered site, the actress participated in traditional devotional acts, including lighting an oil lamp and tying a sacred thread around her wrist. These actions, documented on her Instagram Stories, quickly drew the ire of conservative netizens. Critics flooded the comment sections, accusing her of promoting bid’ah (religious innovation) and practicing rituals they associated with other faiths, with several commentators labeling the acts as entirely inappropriate.
While some social media users defended her right to express her personal faith, the overwhelming wave of disapproval highlights the intense scrutiny Pakistani celebrities face regarding their personal beliefs. As the debate continues to trend online, it remains to be seen if the actress will address the public reaction or let her quiet moments of devotion speak for themselves.
