When Saba Qamar and Aamina Sheikh were bestie goals
In an Instagram Story shared on Monday, Saba Qamar and Aamina Sheikh showed us how to bring one's A-game to wedding festivities as they posed together during one of Kubra Khan and Gohar Rasheed's many wedding events. "Roll out the carpet, we are coming," Saba wrote to the newlyweds.
While the Cheekh actor donned a peachy sari, Aamina stunned in a white, gleaming ensemble. Both the actors opted to tie their hair back, the former in an elegant bun, and the latter in a traditional braid.
Aside from elevating the glam game, Saba and Aamina also stood out for being best-friend goals. However, this was just one of the many times the two on-screen sisters showed us exactly what the phrase means.
A long-running bond
Fondly known as the Maat sisters, the two marked their first appearance together with the 2011 drama serial. Although the drama followed two sisters who were at odds with each other due to different goals in life, it birthed an everlasting friendship between the stars who played them.
"I have had an extremely pleasant experience working with Aamina Sheikh. She's one of the most professional and hardworking actors we have in the industry," Saba told The Express Tribune in 2018.
Heartfelt reunions
In August last year, Saba dedicated a heartwarming note to her industry friend in an Instagram post, which saw them sporting matching black and white attires in true sisterly fashion.
Reflecting on their time together, the Karachi Se Lahore actor wrote, "I can't help but feel truly grateful for the time spent with such a wonderful soul. Your presence brought warmth and joy to my home and our conversations left me inspired."
She continued to praise Aamina's qualities, adding, "I admire not just your incredible talent as an actor but also the grace and authenticity with which you live your life. It's rare to meet someone who embodies such genuine kindness and wisdom, and I feel fortunate to have you as a friend."
Expressing her hopes for the future, Saba concluded with heartfelt wishes, "Looking forward to creating more beautiful memories together and cherishing this friendship for years to come."
In the post, the two actors were seen having a girls' day in what looked like Saba's home, which she previously shared a photoshoot of on social media. In one particularly heartwarming picture, they sat on a couch with their hands joining to make a heart. Aamina looked simple yet elegant in a white kurta while Saba kept it casual and clean in a white t-shirt, her summer bangs on full display.
Following this, the two announced their on-screen reunion with Case #9 after fourteen long years. In the Instagram Story shared in January, the actors held each other in a long, swaying embrace, both twinning with pairs of sunglasses and crop tops. "Saba, we made it. We're here," Aamina said to her friend, as they clapped their hands together. "We're here to slay."
This should be an indication that Saba isn't the only with praises to dispense. Aamina also took to Instagram in August last year to laud her friend's performance as her on-screen sister.
"Life and screen both light up and shine when there is mutual respect, admiration, and reciprocity of love," the Cake actor began. "Aimen, my character in Maat, wouldn't have made as significant a mark had it not been for Saba's fearless and uninhibited performance of Saman's (the sister) nuances and recklessness. She was the true yin to my yang in Maat."
Hopeful for the years ahead, Aamina concluded, "And now in life, we pick up from where we left off, always grateful, always joyful to have shared the journey and success of Maat together."

Hailey Bieber shuts down divorce rumours on social media as Justin shares emotional posts
Hailey Bieber has subtly shut down growing speculation about her marriage by sharing a selfie on Instagram showing her wearing her wedding ring. The post arrives amid rumours of a possible split from husband Justin Bieber, fuelled by her recent public appearances without the ring. Reports surfaced after Hailey was allegedly seen without the band during outings in New York, including nights out with Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse. However, the model's latest Instagram Story appears to dismiss those claims. Dressed in a black top and polka-dot trousers, with dark sunglasses and a handbag in tow, Hailey's ring is clearly visible on her left hand. Photo: Instagram While Hailey responded quietly, Justin Bieber took a more expressive approach on social media. The singer shared a series of monochrome selfies featuring his new nose pin, set to music including 'I Believe I Can Fly' by R. Kelly and 'Me Vs Me' by Moneybagg Yo. He also reposted messages that appeared to reflect his mindset. One read: 'Not everybody hates you, just a lot of people do… People in Tasmania don't hate you. But that's just because they don't know you.' Another added, 'You is jealous, envious, you trying to be me, around me.' The posts come after a public altercation with paparazzi outside Soho House in Malibu and a follow-up admission from Bieber that he had ended a friendship after being accused of 'lashing out.'
