The event caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, and viewers were wondering what exactly had happened. Saba Hameed, in a recent interview, described the incident, and the reason why it happened, and how it shows her dedication to authenticity in performance.
Saba Hameed also expressed her views when she appeared on a talk show, when she discussed the reasons for slapping Hiba Bukhari in one of the scenes in the drama Fitoor. A lot of viewers questioned the issue of professionalism and the safety of actors on the set. Instead of sweeping the incident under the carpet, Saba decided to explain the truth in detail. Not only did her explanation demonstrate the rationale behind the slap, but it also demonstrated her commitment to the realism in her characterization.
The True Account of the Slap in Fitoor.
Saba Hameed clarified that she does not actually slap co-actors on the set. Rather, she claimed that most actors cheat the shot, and position their actions in a way that a camera records a convincing hit, without any physical contact. She says that method maintains safety but provides realism on the screen. But this was not the case. The director of Fitoor supposedly demanded a genuine slap in the name of realism and Saba obliged to the request.
She claimed that the slap was more than she had anticipated and she apologized right after. Saba pointed out that it was not a personal act. She made it clear that she has no ill will against Hiba Bukhari, and once again everything was done in the service of the character and the dramatic moment that the director wanted. It was an uncomfortable, she said, professional experience. Saba admitted that actors usually experience stressful situations to be able to depict intense scenes.

Due to her experience, the knowledge Saba has about acting is weighty. When she talks of how she does a hard scene in a real way, people pay attention. Her justification of the slap on Hiba Bukhari is out of professional confidence and artistic thought.

At such a time, she said, an actor must have faith in the creative choice and meet the challenge.
Perspective of Hiba Bukhari.
Even though Saba Hameed concentrated on her explanation of her actions during the interview, the event also re-focused attention on the overall career of Hiba Bukhari.

Besides, viewers have indicated that Hiba has had a successful career and both fans and critics have valued her talent.
Striking a balance between Professionalism and Safety in Dramatic Scenes.
The discussion surrounding the Saba Hameed slap incident also brought up more general issues of professionalism and on-set safety.

Other viewers claimed that the safety of the filming methods should be always given the first priority and that camera angles and choreography can create equally effective scenes without any physical contact. Some people justified the artistic decision by saying that some scenes require complete emotional and physical investment to make viewers really interested.
This discussion is an indication of increased awareness regarding the roles of directors, actors and production teams.
