Shoaib Akhtar was all praises for Sanam Jung, calling her much more than just an actor.

Comparing Pakistan’s entertainment industry to India’s, Akhtar noted the systematic approach of Indian television, emphasizing schedules and appearances to protect celebrities’ public image. While acknowledging his occasionally controversial bluntness, he praised India for its excellent brand management and suggested Pakistan polish its raw talent similarly.
Addressing rumors surrounding Ayesha Omer’s alleged affair with a co-star, she firmly denied any such involvement, highlighting her dedication to not causing harm to anyone. Instead, she’s focusing on her new natural skincare business inspired by her love for nature and wellness.
Shifting focus, Akhtar asked Sanam Jung about the joys and challenges of her family life. She spoke lovingly about her children and credited her parents for their exceptional parenting, which influenced her own parenting style. Despite living separately now, Jung values frequent visits with her beloved mother.
