Renowned writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is no stranger to controversy, and his recent appearance on a television program once again placed him at the center of public discussion. Known for speaking his mind without filters, Qamar openly addressed his strained relationships with actors Nauman Ijaz and Mahira Khan—two of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.
While reflecting on longstanding disputes within showbiz, he admitted that his differences with various artists are widely known and not something he tries to hide. In the case of Nauman Ijaz, Qamar made it clear that his feelings are much stronger than a simple disagreement. He explained that he holds a deep dislike for the acclaimed actor, an emotion he described as neither momentary nor rooted in a trivial misunderstanding. He emphasized that it isn’t a typical “professional conflict,” but rather a firm sentiment he does not wish to downplay.
Turning to his strained equation with Mahira Khan, the writer took a more nuanced tone. Qamar acknowledged that he has always admired her acting talent and maintained a respectful working relationship with her. However, he expressed that certain remarks Mahira made about him in the past left a lasting impact, something he still struggles to forget. While he hopes that one day he may find it within himself to move past it, for now, he considers those comments too hurtful to ignore.
