During the conversation held in the show, Saba talked about the role of her father in making her a strong woman.
The popular and versatile actress of the Pakistani showbiz industry mentioned that, although she is unsure if people in that period were aware of this term, her father was a true feminist.
However, her father has always supported equal rights as she received the same level of assurance as her brother.
Further Saba added that her mother never had to ask permission to do anything because her father had instilled a strong sense of independence in her.
Growing up, Saba believed that although there are rights for both genders, the world is not the same.
