Pakistani celebrities are calling out Khalil ur Rehman for sexism and rightly so

In a recent bizarre interview, the director and writer had a lot to say about women and feminism.

Updated 02 Nov, 2019

Khalil ur Rehman Qamar, the man behind dramas like Sadqey Tumharay, Pyaaray Afzal and most recently, Meray Pass Tum Ho and Kaaf Kangana made news recently for a deeply troubling interview he recently did.

From mansplaining who he considers a woman to the female interviewer to stating that women should go gang rape men if they want equality, the writer and director shared his disturbingly regressive views about gender equality.

While Qamar regularly works with the bigwigs of the industry, there are a few people from the entertainment fraternity who aren't afraid to call a spade a spade:

Osman Khalid Butt

Iffat Omar

Ali Gul Pir

Meesha Shafi

Jami

Armeena Rana Khan

Ushna Shah

Weird dude to say the least. The celebrity lot is actually replete with such demons. Mr. Khalil made the mistake of publicizing his pernicious beliefs.

He is unbearably misogynistic! He should be banned.

@OJ KRQ is not only weird, but speaking nonsense, this guy should be avoided any importance. Truely disgusting and unacceptable.

What a stupid and illogical statement from a writer!

This is ridiculous ! This writer should be banned from television and show business industry !

Now does the industry and all these actors/actresses have the morality to stand up to him and stop working with him / his scripts. His scripts are his extensions. Money or Morality? Right now or Long term?

To all, I would suggest you to read and watch Prof. Jordan Peterson, at least you will get this idea of misogynsty.

What do you expect from him? His dramas tell you that stupidity knows no bounds. People like him, the ones who hire him are the reason for the downfall of TV dramas. Every channel is running same idiotic "ghissi pitti" story devoid of sanity, ignoring our values and blurring everything. Revived cinema is then hundred fold worse. Good actors are being wasted in the name of mindless entertainment. Seems like as a nation, we are losing grace in every walk of life with telecast media leading the way.....
