Model-turned actress, Rehmat Ajmal came forth on Wednesday making some startling revelations about how she feels being part of ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’ and its writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar.
Rehmat Ajmal, popularly known for her role in the hit drama serial ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’.
Turning to Instagram, the model-turned-actor, penned an extensive note.
She detailed her thoughts on being part of the contentious serial penned by a writer who recurrently faces flak over his ‘misogynistic’ views.
“I understand that we as artists have a social responsibility in terms of the content we produce and the messages we put forward – & that I take that responsibility with a lot of seriousness and dignity,” she said.
“I’ve been receiving a lot of concerned, hateful and confused messages since the past few months and as much as I want to address them individually, I think I’ll just give an overview of my perspective for now,” she continued.
“I absolutely do not endorse the concepts and viewpoints of Mr. Khalil Ul Rehman.
I watched Khalil ul Rehman’s interview and got to know about his problematic views on very many things WAY after the project completed.
I am not proud to be a part of something that is so compromising and ill-informed.
However, I (like many others) was not aware of the entire story line or Mr. Khalil ul Rehman’s ideology at the time this project was shot – which was a year ago.
My role in this project is limited so, I did not get a chance to see how it’ll come together or how it’ll eventually unroll on television and that is where I think I slipped a little.
It was my first ever telecom project and I am learning – I have learnt to be cautious and more conscious with my creative choices.”
She concluded the note by saying: “Please extend new, struggling artists some leeway as we are in the process of learning – we are also trying very hard to make our own mark solely based on our merit.”
The Nadeem Baig-directorial, despite the success it has racked up, also became target of ample social media backlash over its story line hinting at the misogynistic portrayal of women and dialogues reeking of sexism.
