- Legendary actress and director, Saba Hameed, shares her career journey with Iffat Omar.
- She has earned recognition for her creativity, intelligence, and bold opinions.
- Politically aware, Hameed emphasizes the importance of democracy.
Discussing the Zia era, she revealed that there was an overnight directive mandating women to wear a dupatta on their heads on television. At the time, she was shooting for a project that was halfway done. Saba Hameed refused to comply with the order and informed the director that adding a dupatta at that point would appear odd and contradict the character's requirements. Consequently, the drama never aired, and she also took a break from acting until there was a requirement for actresses to adhere to the directive.
Saba was also asked if she faced discrimination for her dusky complexion. She revealed that “she grew up thinking she had a fair complexion, so she did not know that discrimination could be a thing for her. She never had to go through it but she later on saw other women who were not cast because they did not have a fair complexion.”
