Lollywood actor and director Yasir Hussain picked Saba Qamar instead of his wife, Iqra Aziz, to cast as the heroine in his film.
Yasir Hussain appeared as a guest at Ahmed Ali Butt's show 'Mind Na Karna' where he was asked to pick a female lead actress opposite him for a film from the given choice, so he chose versatile Saba Qamar to reunite on screen, instead of his real-life partner Iqra Aziz.
The other choices were Dur-e-Fishan Saleem, Hania Aamir, Meera Jee, Mathira, Hareem Shah, Sonya Hussyn, Sajal Aly, and Turkish starlet Esra Bilgic in the pool but Hussain rejected all and opted for Saba Qamar.
“As a lead hero, I did my first film with Saba (Lahore Se Aagey), and it was her debut as well, so I will pick her. Saba is way more talented than Esra”, he remarked.
When asked to choose between supermodel Nadia Hussain Khan and Nausheen Shah, Hussain picked the latter. “Both of them are very beautiful but I will cast Nausheen Shah because she is a brilliant actor. She is very underrated and I believe the kind of opportunities and films she is having her way now, she should have got them long back,” he said.

The celebrity couple, Yasir Hussain and Iqra Aziz exchanged rings in June 2019 after the former went on his knees for his lady love during an awards ceremony.
They got married the same year in a private affair witnessed by family members and celebrity friends.
Their only child, baby boy Kabir Hussain, was born in 2021.
