When Sadaf Choudry, 40, a teacher from London, married into Saba Munir’s family, Saba welcomed her with open arms. “She put me at ease so quickly,” says Sadaf. The pair were close in age and they bonded in no time. “She had a really cool sense of humour,” says Sadaf. “She was witty. You could be as sarcastic as you wanted with her. She’d always be making fun of her sister or her mum, but in a nice way. When we hung out together, I felt like we were teenagers; sisters, really. You didn’t have to be a grownup with her.”
Saba’s great love was gaming – “fantasy games”, says Sadaf. “She travelled to the US for gaming conventions. If she was gaming, she wouldn’t come down for dinner – you’d have to make a plate of food, and leave it next to her. Usually, it would go cold, and she’d bring it downstairs to warm it up.”
