‘Maat’ sisters Aamina Sheikh, Saba Qamar rebond

A reunion that definitely was not on our cards was Maat sisters Saba Qamar and Aamina Sheikh. Earlier this week, the former took to her Instagram to post a series of pictures of the on-screen sibling duo, the caption being a sweet note penned by Saba, expressing her love and admiration for her costar and friend.

Reflecting on their time together, the Karachi Se Lahore actor wrote, “I can’t help but feel truly grateful for the time spent with such a wonderful soul. Your presence brought warmth and joy to my home and our conversations left me inspired.” She continued to praise Aamina’s qualities, adding, “I admire not just your incredible talent as an actor but also the grace and authenticity with which you live your life. It’s rare to meet someone who embodies such genuine kindness and wisdom, and I feel fortunate to have you as a friend.”

Expressing her hopes for the future, Saba concluded with heartfelt wishes,”Looking forward to creating more beautiful memories together and cherishing this friendship for years to come.”

In the post, the two actors are seen having a girls’ day in at what looks like Saba’s home, which she previously shared a photoshoot of on social media. In one particularly heartwarming picture, they are sitting on a couch with their hands joining to make a heart. Aamina looked simple yet elegant in a white kurta while Saba kept it casual and clean in a white t shirt, her new summer bangs on full display.

The pair worked together in the television drama Maat which aired in 2011. The story follows two sisters, Aiman, the kind and respectful older sister played by Aamina, and Saman, the overambitious and materialistic younger sister played by Saba. Their cousin Faisal becomes enchanted with Saman’s beauty, and despite his engagement to Aiman, he proposes to Saman. She refuses, but his improving financial status changes her mind. The drama unfolds over a little more than 25 years, with Saman’s constant selfish choices causing Aiman pain.
