(The Express Tribune) — September 10, 2026: Pakistani actor Ayesha Omar has praised Sania Saeed’s performance in the ongoing drama Aap Ki Izzat, drawing attention to the family dynamics and treatment of women portrayed through Saeed’s character.
Omar shared a clip of Saeed discussing the role on Instagram and said the behaviour depicted in the drama reflects situations that can be found across different sections of society. Omar remarked, “There are many men and mothers-in-law like these around us. In every class of society. I know quite a few, personally.”

Describing the conduct portrayed in the story, Omar called it “demeaning and degrading for the girl.” Her comments have added to the wider discussion surrounding the drama’s depiction of marriage, family expectations and the pressures placed on women.
Saeed, who plays a mother-in-law in Aap Ki Izzat, has herself spoken about the emotional difficulty of portraying the character. In an interview discussed by several Pakistani entertainment outlets, she questioned the tendency to assess a woman’s contribution to her family through material or financial measures.

“Is the value of her entire life really determined by how much money she has spent?” Saeed said while explaining her concerns about the character.

She further described a situation in which a woman can become valued primarily for the role she plays in maintaining a household and supporting her children, while her own emotional needs receive less attention.
Saeed said of her character, “She’s only there to help to keep the household running, to make a life for herself, and to keep her son’s life on the right track so that he can become successful and have some peace in his life.”

The actor has also explained why she was initially reluctant to accept the part, saying that the character’s behaviour and circumstances were emotionally frustrating for her. “Even talking about it is upsetting me,” Saeed said, adding that this was why she repeatedly told the production team, “I don’t want to do this.”

Saeed’s recent comments have received additional attention because of the themes explored in Aap Ki Izzat. Dawn Images reported on September 9 that the actor had also criticised the expectation that women should bear the responsibility for keeping a family together. She argued that such expectations can come at the expense of women’s dignity and self-respect.
The drama centres on the deteriorating relationship between Beena, played by Urwa Hocane, and Tabish, played by Ahsan Khan. Recent episodes have generated considerable discussion, with other Pakistani actors also commenting publicly on the performances and themes of the show.
Rather than presenting the characters’ behaviour as representative of every family, the discussion around Saeed’s performance has focused on how television dramas portray complicated domestic relationships and the different expectations placed on men and women.
