Pakistani writer and director, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has been the talk of the town since his hit drama serial ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’ which has gained both criticism and favorable remarks.
Ahead of International Women’s Day 2020 Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar had a discussion around feminism and Aurat March in a talk show.
As we all know about the director’s short-tempered behaviour, he got into an abusive spat with a participant during the talk show.
At first, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar carried on with his bit of conversation before he was interrupted by Marvi Sirmed, a former journalist.
Marvi Sirmed triggered the extremely short-tempered writer with a slogan of the upcoming Aurat March he had previously taken issue with: ‘Mera Jisam meri Marzi.’
This harmless little phrase got Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar all riled up.
After that, he got into a profanity-laced spat with Marvi and used some unacceptable and disgraceful remarks during the LIVE show.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is known for his fringe views specially related to feminism.
Marvi Sirmed has a record of getting into abusive rants on television, too.
Moreover, hashtags of #MeraJismMeriMarzi and #khalilurrehmanqamar is trending top on Twitter.
Famous showbiz celebrities were rightly shocked and dismayed at the turn of events.
خلیل الرحمن قمر کا فرعونی انداز دیکھ کر مولائے کائنات سیدنا علی المرتضی کرم اللہ وجہہ الکریم کا یہ قول مبارک پھر سامنے آگیا
“طاقت، دولت، شہرت اور اختیار (یا اقتدار)
انسان کو بدلتے نہیں
بے نقاب کردیتے ہیں@marvisirmed #khalil #marvi #khalilurrehmanqamar— Aamir Liaquat Husain (@AamirLiaquat) March 4, 2020
دو ٹکے کی عورت سے لے کر
الو کی پٹھی تک کا گھٹیا سفر
بہت جلد طے کرلیا
خلیل الرحمن قمر!مقبولیت ہضم کرنا اعلی ظرفوں کا شیوہ ہے، کم ظرف کانہیں
خالی برتن سوائے بجنے اور بجانے کے کسی کام نہیں آتا
پانی چڑھا کر ہانڈی پکاتے رہو
صرف اُبال آئے گا
غذامیسر نہیں ہوگی!#khalilurrehmanqamar— Aamir Liaquat Husain (@AamirLiaquat) March 4, 2020
آپ کو نہیں پسند
ٹھیک ہے
نظریے سے اختلاف ہے ، مناسب !
مگر یہ طرزتکلم تواس مخبر خاتون کے ساتھ مولا علی کا بھی نہیں تھا جس نے جنگ میں مخبری کا کام سر انجام دیا
خلیل الرحمن قمر! تم نے مَردوں کے سر شرم سے جھکادیے اور تکبر سے معاشرے کو تقسیم کردیا@marvisirmed #khalilurrehmanqamar pic.twitter.com/Jx4yf10Wow— Aamir Liaquat Husain (@AamirLiaquat) March 4, 2020
I am shocked at what I have just heard and seen!! Sick to the core. This same man who abused a woman on tv is revered and given project after project because of what? We are as much to blame if not more for perpetuating this thinking! #khalilurrehmanqamar

Just saw the obnoxious incident between Khalil Saab and Marvi Sirmad. I see people writing "You can't talk to a lady like that" and that's where the problem lies. It's not a matter of gender. You can't talk to ANYONE like that! Not even an animal. Khalil Saab is a disgrace 🤦🏻♂️🤮

Senator Sherry Rehman has demanded apology from the TV show’s management.
I will not accept any show on @NeoTv_Network until this anchor apologises and this abusive man boycotted. If others ( men and women ) do the same when asked for shows this kind of disrespect to women may not get impunity. Women’s rights are human rights. Enough of this nonsense https://t.co/YAJlmawCXF

#khalilurrehmanqamar is indeed a misogynist and deserves strong condemnation but Marvi got a taste of her own medicine.

Earlier, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar mentioned Actress Sonya Hussyn as an upgraded actress after she reveals her no-interest performing in Mere Paas Tum Ho.
She said, “I was offered for Mere Paas Tum Ho with Humayun Saeed and Adnan Siddiqui. I did not take this project because I have issues related to women.
In our society, we don’t have acceptance for women and I don’t want to represent women in a negative way. I was not able to accept that character.”
On replying to Sonya Hussyn’s rejection, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar said that he had never offered the role of the female lead in the drama to actress Sonya Hussyn.
He also said that he did not ever want to cast her in the show.
The director stated in the interview that Sonya was making a false claim on being offered the role in Mere Paas Tum Ho.
He further added that it was impossible to cast her in the play because he would have refused it outright.
