Actor Noman Habib’s comments on Saba Qamar’s reported casting as infamous drug dealer Anmol Pinky have triggered widespread debate online, with many social media users echoing his concerns.
One of Pakistan’s most celebrated actresses, Saba Qamar, has found herself at the center of a growing public debate after reports emerged that she will portray the controversial figure Anmol Pinky in an upcoming drama announced by Geo TV.
Known for delivering powerful performances in projects such as Besharam, Baaghi, Pamaal, and Muamma, Saba Qamar has built a reputation for immersing herself deeply into complex characters. Her reported casting as Anmol Pinky, however, has sparked mixed reactions among viewers.
Actor Noman Habib, who previously worked with Saba Qamar, publicly advised her against taking the role. He argued that portraying a notorious drug dealer could unintentionally lead some viewers to idolize the character. Instead, he suggested that television productions should focus on highlighting heroic personalities who can inspire audiences.
His remarks quickly gained traction online, with many social media users expressing agreement. Several commenters questioned the purpose of creating a drama centered on Anmol Pinky, while others argued that such projects risk glorifying controversial figures despite their criminal backgrounds.
The discussion continues to grow, placing the upcoming drama under intense public scrutiny even before production details have been fully revealed.
