Saba Qamar turns 39: 4 powerful performances by actor that moved audiences emotionally

Saba Qamar, one of the most iconic actors in Pakistan, turns 39 today! From starting her career with the PTV classic Main Aurat Hoon to making her mark with acting prowess in Dastaan, the actor has come a long way. The actor, who was last seen in the acclaimed series Sar-e-Rah, has not only impressed fans in Pakistan but also internationally with her work in Bollywood and the Zee5 web series Mrs. & Mr. Shameem.

Cheekh is yet another drama that etches in your brains for a long time and makes you critical of people and society – and Qamar’s performance made it even more powerful! Cheekh saw Qamar play the role of Mannat Shayan, a lawyer who seeks justice for her friend who was raped and murdered. A changemaker in her own right, the actor convincingly portrayed the pain and anguish of a woman seeking justice in a society that is often insensitive to the plight of rape victims.

If the praise isn’t enough, the actor also bagged the award for Best Actor for her performance in the film at the Indus Valley International Film Festival (IVIFF) in Chandigarh last year. The bittersweet poetic universe of Kamli, abundant with mysterious, haunting, dark corners, is a symbolic tale of longing and love amidst culturally-bounded relationships.
