Mansha Pasha responds to Saba Faisal’s infidelity remarks

Actor says public platforms should not be used to reinforce habits that cause family problems, mental trauma

Actor Mansha Pasha reacted to Saba Faisal’s comments on infidelity, stating that cheating among wealthy men is not “normal” but is toxic and should not be normalised.

Earlier, veteran actor Saba Faisal made headlines when, in a recent interview, she shared her views on infidelity, suggesting that women should accept their husbands’ extramarital affairs while focusing on maintaining their home and raising their children.

She remarked, “Let your husband cheat around, he’ll come back to you eventually.” Her statement drew backlash online, with many criticising her perspective and comparing it to a controversial rhetoric associated with normalising toxic gender roles.

Some also called for greater sensitivity and responsibility from public figures when addressing such issues.

In response to Faisal's comments, Pasha shared a repost on her Instagram story featuring content by blogger Waqar Anjum, which used humour to refer to the remarks. Several celebrities also reacted to the video, agreeing with the criticism.

Pasha added her own comment to her Instagram story, writing: “Someone in the comments said: cheating isn’t a rich man’s trait, it’s a weak man’s habit.”

She added, “Instead of trying to raise awareness of the toxic traits society still instills in men today, pls do not use public platforms to keep reinforcing the habits that are not only against all morality and religious teachings but are the cause of a lot of family problems and mental trauma for both partners and children alike.”

Pasha’s statement highlights the need to challenge the normalisation of infidelity and discourage narratives that excuse or romanticise harmful behaviour.
