“They are trying to sell their story, but I am also doing my job and leading my life. The best way to do that is by saying ‘next question’,” says Saba. The actor says that the trend of viral quotes from interviews is here to stay, even if it is harmful. “The excerpt from something before and after will never be shared, so you have no context. There is no escaping it, honestly,” she adds.

Her co-star in Crime Beat, Saqib Saleem, also weighed in on the topic, urging the media to exercise responsibility when interviewing actors. “Just because actors are coming to talk to you doesn’t give you the right to dig out some part of their life and put it up for public consumption. In the world we live in, nobody believes in setting the context. A 15-second Reel is cut that has a viral moment. It will blow out of proportion.”
