Pakistani actress Saba Qamar recently found herself in the middle of some sleazy comments and insults. In a behind-the-scenes video that has been going viral, the Hindi Medium actress was gearing up for a shoot.

Saba could be seen in a white shirt, a coat on her shoulders and a cigarette in her hand. This was enough for Twitter users to slam the actress. The 34-year-old actress was slut-shamed for her clothes and smoking by trolls.

While Saba preferred to remain silent, her contemporaries and co-actors came in her support. Celebrities, including Osman Khalid Butt, Adnan Siddiqui, and Aijaz Aslam, took to Twitter in a bid to shut the trolls.

Earlier, another Pakistani actress Mahira Khan was slammed for smoking a cigarette while she was hanging out with Ranbir Kapoor. Addressing the controversy on “HARDtalk on BBC World News, Mahira said, “That was the first time in my entire career that I was caught up in a so-called controversy and it was strange because there were so many things in that. One, obviously you feel violated, you are in a personal downtime moment and someone has just photographed you.”
