Saba Faisal disses son, daughter-in-law on social media and expects fans to not judge her family

Veteran Saba Faisal took to Instagram late Tuesday night and issued a statement, offering clarification about recent speculations regarding her personal life.

In a three-minute-long video, the Dil-e-Momin actor revealed that she has severed ties with her son, Salman Faisal and his wife of four years, Neha Salman, due to irrevocable differences. The rumours regarding issues between Saba and Neha had been making rounds on social media for months.

"There's an important reason why I making this video at this hour," Saba began in the aforementioned clip. "I have never aired my dirty laundry in this manner before. However, I have been forced to discuss my personal matters publicly. To everyone who has been abusing me under Neha's post, I want to say that when a woman like Neha becomes a part of a family - someone who's as negative as her - then those families fall apart."

She added, "I have been living a very difficult life for the last four years. I was worried about my son and kept wondering how he will live his whole life with a woman like Neha. I won't get into the nitty-gritty of it but the severity of the situation could be understood that I have resorted to making a video about it."

Addressing how several gossip pages shared Neha's posts hinting at squabble between Saba and her son's family, the actor lamented, "We stayed quiet about it because if we react, then it would go viral. I just want to announce that we have no relationship with Neha. If my son, Salman, wishes to stay with his wife, then our family has no association with him as well. If he believes his wife can be a reason for comfort and honour here and in the afterlife, then he can be with her but we have severed ties with Salman."

Saba went on to comment, "If I were to dish the dirt, then you'll spit on us. I don't want that." Asking her followers, and fans to not be judgmental, the Habs actor relayed, "You can't judge us on such comments. I am not asking you to decide without listening to the other side of the story nor am I holding anyone accountable. I am only saying Salman can live with his wife if he wishes, but we have decided to part ways with him as a family."

She concluded the video teary-eyed, "If a mother makes such a statement, then I am sure you could understand [the circumstances]."
