Actor Saba Qamar has opened up about her absence from social media during Eidul Azha, revealing that she chose rest over ritual dressing this year.
In a heartfelt Instagram story, the Kamli actor explained she spent the three days of Eid in quiet reflection, prioritising healing and self-care after a demanding year of non-stop work and travel.
"I know so many of you were waiting to see my Eid look this time, and I just want to say that there wasn't one," Qamar wrote. "I didn't wear anything special, didn't dress up, and, for once, I didn't feel like I needed to."
The actor added that she spent Eid taking it slow. "This Eid, I chose rest - pure, simple, and soulful rest," she said. "I spent these three days lying down, oil in my hair, good food in front of me, quiet prayers in my heart, and a whole lot of healing."
"My heart was quietly asking for a break, and I listened," Qamar explained. "Sometimes, we have to pause, breathe, and come home to ourselves. This Eid, I did just that. No glam, no noise - just me-time."
This is not the first time the star has emphasised the importance of a break. While most celebrities welcomed 2025 with a more energised online presence, Qamar worried fans with a brief social media hiatus. Taking to Instagram Stories, she reassured fans that her absence on social media was not a cause for alarm.
"Sometimes in life, you just need to take a step back, be quiet for a bit, and give yourself some time to heal and recharge," she penned.
With more gentle words to dispense, Qamar continued, "I promise this is just a little pause, not the end of anything. Even the brightest stars need to rest sometimes so they can shine even brighter."
