Veteran actress Saima Qureshi, known for her strong screen presence and outspoken nature, has once again sparked debate with her views on women’s income. The actress, who is a single mother and raised her three sons on her own, is admired for her resilience. Her son Daniyal Khan has also entered the entertainment industry as an actor.
Recently, Saima appeared on the FHM podcast where she shared a controversial opinion. Despite working hard for years to support her family, she claimed that women’s earnings are “not blessed.” Her statement drew strong criticism, especially from working women across different fields.
Now, returning to the same podcast, Saima defended her stance. She said she still firmly believes that there is no blessing in a woman’s income. Explaining further, Saima shared her personal experience: “If my earnings were blessed, I would have owned a house by now. But I am still living in a rented home. If my husband had been earning, I would have had my own house today.”
Her comments have once again fueled discussions online, with many questioning her perspective while others appreciated her honesty. Saima’s take reflects her personal struggles but also highlights the ongoing societal debate about women, work, and financial independence.
