In an old interview that has resurfaced and gone viral, Saboor explained that since Ali’s sister, Mariam Ansari, is one of her closest friends, she naturally regarded Ali as a brother, as is common in Pakistani culture.
The actress further revealed that before tying the knot with Ali, she had suggested a few potential matches to Mariam and even recommended some girls to Ali for marriage.Whenever she brought up these matches, Mariam would teasingly ask, "Why don’t you marry Ali yourself?" To which Saboor would respond, "I consider Ali as a brother; how could I marry him?"The actress further shared that she and Ali had a strong friendship, often discussing their careers and other matters, but she never imagined that their bond would eventually turn into a beautiful marriage.
