Pakistani actress Sarah Umair has revealed that she once slapped a director on set during a shoot. She shared this during a recent appearance on a morning show on a private TV channel, where she talked about how actresses are sometimes harassed in the showbiz industry.
She said that many years ago, she went to a small town in Sindh for a shoot. During the shoot, the director kept touching her in an inappropriate way, which made her very angry.
She explained that it happened while they were eating. The director touched her from under the table. She got shocked and moved to another chair. But the table was small, so he touched her again. That’s when she realized it was not a mistake — he was doing it on purpose.
She said at first, she tried to ignore his behavior, but he kept touching the actresses again and again while pretending to give instructions. Then he touched her again in a very inappropriate way. She got extremely angry, slapped him in front of everyone, and told him that she could not work with such a cheap man anymore.
Sarah Umair also said that she has worked with respected directors like Kazim Pasha, whom she considers her teacher. He never behaved in a bad way or said anything inappropriate. Even if he ever had to touch an actress during a scene, it always felt like a caring gesture from a father. But young directors do not behave the same way.
