Laiba Khan is one of the rising stars of the Pakistani drama industry. Her steady success, powerful screen presence, and humble personality have helped her earn a huge fan following in a short time. From her breakout drama Kaffara, which crossed one billion views in 2024, to her recent hit Mohra, Laiba continues to prove her talent with every new project.
Her dramas Aafat, Aas Paas, Humraaz, and Baylagaam also performed exceptionally well, making her one of the busiest young actresses today. Laiba’s sister, Emaan Khan, who started as a child artist, is also doing equally well in the industry.
Recently, Laiba Khan appeared on the comedy talk show Hasna Mana Hai, where she addressed a viral controversy involving her statement about senior actress Saba Qamar. The online drama began after a highly edited clip circulated on social media, giving a completely wrong impression of what Laiba had originally said.
In this article, we explore what actually happened, how the clip went viral, and most importantly, what message Saba Qamar sent to Laiba Khan after the misunderstanding.

The controversy started when an edited clip from Laiba Khan’s appearance on Hasna Mana Hai spread rapidly on Instagram. The clip showed Laiba appearing to say something negative about Saba Qamar, but in reality, the video was cut and joined in a misleading way.
During the show, the anchor had asked a light-hearted question:
“If Saba Qamar were not an actress, what profession would suit her?”
Laiba paused for a moment and said, “She would be a lawyer.”
Someone then took this harmless moment and merged it with a completely different segment from the show where Laiba was discussing another topic. As a result, the final edited clip gave the illusion that Laiba had made an insulting remark about Saba Qamar.
This misleading clip quickly went viral, with many pages sharing it without checking the context.
During the interview, Laiba expressed her frustration with how people believed the edited clip without verifying the original show. She confidently addressed the situation, saying:
“Let me clear this once and for all so that people with useless brains know the truth.”
She explained the entire situation step-by-step and highlighted how easily people fall for misleading content. Laiba stressed that anyone with “brain cells” could simply watch the full show and understand the truth.
She also mentioned that even an actress’s husband posted a story criticizing her without checking facts. When Laiba personally explained the real situation to him, he immediately deleted the story. This showed how quickly rumors spread online and how easily people jump to conclusions.

Laiba made it very clear that she holds Saba Qamar in high regard. She openly praised her and shared her past experience of working with her.
She said:
“Saba Qamar is a great actress. I have worked with her, and she once even predicted that I would be a big star one day.”
This statement showed the mutual respect between the two actresses long before the controversy surfaced.
When the controversy started gaining attention, someone informed Saba Qamar about the viral clip. Instead of reacting negatively or believing what social media showed, Saba reached out to Laiba in a kind and supportive manner.
Laiba revealed Saba’s message, saying:
“I clarified everything to her, and she sent me love and prayers, telling me not to pay heed to stupid people.”
This message reflects Saba Qamar’s maturity, professionalism, and grace as a senior artist. Instead of amplifying the issue, she chose to respond with positivity and understanding.
Her supportive words helped reduce tension and shut down the negativity surrounding the clip.
Among the people who reacted to the edited clip was actor and host Yasir Hussain. He posted a story criticizing Laiba Khan without researching the real context. The criticism added more fuel to the controversy.
However, once Laiba explained the truth, Yasir deleted his story. This again highlighted how easily misinformation spreads and how important it is to verify facts before sharing anything online.

The viral clip is a perfect example of how editing can completely change the meaning of a statement. The situation teaches several important lessons:
Laiba handled the controversy with confidence, and Saba responded with love and maturity—something fans truly appreciated.
Despite the controversy, Laiba’s honest explanation, composed attitude, and respect for Saba Qamar won people’s hearts. She proved that misunderstandings can happen, but how you respond defines your character.
Her current hit drama Mohra is receiving amazing feedback, and fans believe she has a bright future ahead. The support from Saba Qamar also shows how senior artists uplift the younger generation instead of letting negativity take over.
The controversy may have gone viral, but the truth is now clear. Laiba Khan never disrespected Saba Qamar, and the misunderstanding was only the result of a misleading edited clip. Saba’s kind message and Laiba’s honest clarification ended the matter beautifully.
Both actresses continue to shine, and fans appreciate their professionalism and respect for each other.
