Mahira Khan and Saba Qamar are widely regarded as two of Pakistan’s most accomplished and admired stars. They launched their careers around the same time and steadily rose to the top through talent, hard work, and projects that won praise both at home and abroad. Their professionalism has helped elevate the global perception of Pakistani artists, making them two of the country’s most respected cultural ambassadors.
For years, however, speculation about competition between the two has followed them. Fans and media outlets often compared their successes, and both actresses have occasionally exchanged subtle remarks that fueled talk of rivalry. Despite this, they always managed to maintain public respect for one another. Now, Mahira is addressing the subject directly.
During her appearance on Gup Shab, she spoke about the long-standing assumptions regarding tension between her and Saba. Mahira said she holds deep admiration for Saba’s work and does not view her as a rival. She explained that people tend to enjoy imagining conflict between two successful women, even when none exists.
She added that although they have never worked together, she believes a collaboration would be remarkable. According to Mahira, any project combining their strengths would exceed expectations. She made it clear that she has only positive feelings toward Saba and no interest in feeding narratives that pit them against each other.
Mahira emphasized that the idea of rivalry is not something she supports and that it does not come from her side. Instead, she stressed that she respects Saba’s achievements and sees no reason why two strong women in the same industry cannot coexist without competition being forced upon them.
Her comments offer a rare moment of clarity in a conversation that has persisted for years. Rather than leaning into the drama, Mahira chose to highlight mutual respect and the potential for creative collaboration. For fans who admire both actresses, her words may help shift the focus back to their individual contributions to the industry and the pride they continue to bring to Pakistani entertainment.
With Mahira’s statement now public, the hope is that the narrative can move away from rivalry and toward recognition of the success both women have earned.
