Khalil ur Rehman Qamar 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar is the most prominent legendary writer, director, and producer. His blunt and outspoken views had always made him land in some controversies. His dialogues and techniques of writing have always won our hearts. Boota From Toba Tek Singh, Landa Bazar, Sadqay Tumharey, Meray Pass Tum Ho, and Bunty I Love You are his top most famous and praised projects. Meray Pass Tum Ho is a masterpiece by Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar that made people hooked on this serial till the end. The dialogues from the serial are still getting appreciated on social media. He is a strongly opinionated person and never hesitates from putting forward his thinking and opinion on certain issues. A few months back the legendary writer got entangled in a live argument with Marvi Sarmad that eventually lead to a never-ending discussion. Recently the elder son of Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar tied the knot and this ceremony was definitely a star-studded event. Many renowned Pakistani celebrities attended the wedding. Babar Ali, Reema Khan, Sahiba, Rambo, Javeria Saud, Syed Noor, Saima, Humaira Arshad were spotted at this ravishing event. The beautiful images from the wedding are making rounds on different social media pages. The man who has written TV serials like Pyarey Afzal, Sadqay Tumhare and Mere Paas Tum Ho, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar came under fire when he crossed all levels of human decency and dignity by hurling profanities at a fellow female panelist and making personal attacks on her appearance. Appearing on a live show on a local television channel, opining against the upcoming Aurat March on Women’s Day (March 8), Mr Qamar was vehemently opposing the validity of the Aurat March when Marvi Sirmed, also on the panel, interrupted him and reiterated the slogan, Mera Jism Meri Marzi. This slogan is a spin-off of My Body, My Choice, the global movement for women to have the right to safe abortion. In Pakistan, it refers to a woman’s right to self-defense from harassment and abuse of all kinds. As a writer, and someone who has the window to influence masses through television, the man’s mindset is his real problem. His hatred for women was evident in how he shouted expletives at Marvi Sirmed. “Mera jism meri marzi?” he snarled at her. “Apna jism dekho; koi mard thookay ga bhi nahin uss par.” (Your body, your choice? Look at your body. No man would even spit on it.) He then called her a bitch and told her to “shut up”, repeatedly. Khalil ur Rehman Qamar has undoubtedly been providing priceless fodder to channels that are raking in the ratings by inviting him to share his crude and unfiltered views on women. The question is, who died and made him the holy saint of morality, especially of morality applicable to women? Why is he being invited to comment on feminism and women’s rights when he is neither a woman nor a woman supporter? One would think that it would make more sense to have women like Fizza Ali Meerza and men like Nabeel Qureshi, Adnan Sarwar and Sarmad Khoosat (if we’re selecting from film and TV) to advocate the cause since they have made films from a woman’s perspective or in their support. Mr Qamar’s views and reactions to mostly women who disagree with him is, I feel, the equivalent to harassment and verbal abuse; it’s maybe even worse as it’s camouflaged in the guise of art and literature that is supposed to be a platform for broadmindedness. Mr Qamar is not broadminded and in fact harbours outdated and Draconian opinions on the role of a woman in the 21st century; his abusive language is nothing short of ‘sexist abuse’.
