Pakistan’s only female actor to be nominated in the prestigious Filmfare Best Actress category, Saba Qamar is amongst the biggest names in the Pakistani film & television fraternity.

The Cheekh actress is currently riding high on the success of her back-to-back hits Ghabrana Nahi Hai and Kamli. Saba exclusively revealed in her interview with The Current that she rejected Bollywood films Love Aaj Kal and Delhi 6 early on in her career.

The Baaghi actress said that she turned down Love Aaj Kal because Deepika was doing the female lead part but Saba was offered a parallel role, so she thought that Padukone will overshadow her.
