She recently appeared on Good Morning Pakistan, where her controversial remarks about newly married girls sparked backlash on social media.
Recently, Saba Faisal responded to critics over her statement that newlywed girls should seek permission from their in-laws before taking a nap. Addressing the backlash, she wrote:
“People who are agitators are like this; they twist the meaning of others’ statements. Don’t do such things—you cannot achieve someone else’s fame by speaking against them. Sharpasand aisay hi log hotay hain jo baat ka rukh bilkul badal detay hain. Don’t do all this. You will neither get more fame nor followers than what is already written in your destiny.”
She further urged social media to stop Sharpasandi while condemning the twisted post related to Bushra Ansari and Feroze Khan:
Saba Faisal’s statement once again triggered backlash, with fans saying that it is not fame but degradation. Many said they are fed up with her repeated statements about daughters-in-law. One fan wrote, “What you think is fame is actually degradation.” Another commented, “Daughter-in-law doesn’t mean you have hired an employee for a job.” A fan sarcastically called Saba Faisal a “Bahu Training School.” Multiple fans said that her speeches are a total red flag. A social media user wrote, “This woman is sharpasand.” Another asked, “So you got married for a midday nap?” One user commented, “What is she high on? Someone please wake her up and tell her it’s 2026.” Read the comments:
