Veteran actress Atiqa Odho ignited social media buzz by questioning Saba Hamid’s casting as a mother figure in the hit drama Darke Nijat during her stint as co-host.
Veteran Pakistani actress Atiqa Odho ruffled feathers on social media when she openly criticized the casting of Saba Hamid as the mother of Faran Tahir in the popular drama Darke Nijat. The controversy erupted during a recent episode of her talk show Kya Drama Hai, where Odho stated that Saba Hamid’s portrayal felt forced and unrealistic, leaving viewers divided on the matter.
Atiqa Odho has built a distinguished career spanning decades in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, earning acclaim for her nuanced performances in iconic serials like Sitara Aur Mehrunissa, Dash, and Humsafar. Her recent role as co-host of Kya Drama Hai has showcased her sharp wit and candid perspective on the drama industry, endearing her further to fans who appreciate her no-nonsense approach to storytelling critique.
During the show, Odho elaborated on her grievance, explaining that while the overall casting was excellent, Saba Hamid’s character as Faran Tahir’s mother failed to convince viewers. She pointed out that Saba Hamid, known for her chic and stylish persona, does not naturally embody the appearance of a grandmother figure. Odho emphasized that even though actors can play any role, the parallel airing of Bus Tera Saath Hu—where Saba and Faran play husband and wife—made the mother-son dynamic particularly jarring and unrealistic.
