The actor picked Saba Qamar over Mahira Khan when being asked who was the better actor
Actor and television host Noor ul Hassan has praised Saba Qamar’s acting skills after being asked to choose between her and Mahira Khan, two of Pakistan’s biggest stars, based on their recent roles.
Hassan recently appeared on a talk show, where he was asked to choose who he considered the better actor between Saba and Mahira. In response, he said that, purely as an actor, he would pick Saba.
“For an actor, I’d pick Saba. She is so passionate that sometimes I tell her she should take care of herself. She portrays her characters so well and with such hard work. We have seen Saba grow, and she has done so much hard work. She has also groomed herself a lot,” he said.
His comments received positive reactions from fans, with many agreeing that his choice was not meant as hate towards Mahira, but rather as recognition of Saba’s acting abilities. Fans also praised Saba for taking on diverse roles throughout her career and consistently challenging herself as a performer.
One fan wrote, “Any blind person can see that there is no hate for Mahira, though anyone can see, if not biased, that Saba is a better actress.” They added, “It has nothing to do with who is a bigger star or who has done more projects.”
Another fan highlighted Qamar’s versatility, describing her as “truly one of the most versatile and dedicated artists in our industry.” They continued, “The way she completely transforms herself for every character, understands the emotions and brings so much depth to her performances is genuinely inspiring.”
While comparisons between two celebrated actors are bound to spark discussion among fans, Hassan’s comments ultimately highlighted the respect Saba has earned for her dedication, versatility and ability to disappear into her characters. Both Saba and Mahira have established themselves as prominent figures in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, and the conversation once again reflects the different qualities audiences appreciate in their performances.
