After targeting and refusing to work with Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan for years, renowned screenwriter Khalilur Rehman Qamar has seemingly turned his ‘hatred gun’ towards another superstar Saba Qamar, vehemently refusing to cast her in any project, also declaring her against his standards due to 'bold' choice of attires.
Khalilur Rehman Qamar has lately made an attendance during an interesting podcast session where he has been asked for any actress whom he would never cast in his dramas.
In response to the query, Khalil deliberately mentioned Saba Qamar with adding: “I don’t think so I would be able to collaborate with her as she wears such ‘vulgar’ (bold) outfits which do not meet my criteria.”

“There is no doubt that Saba Qamar is an excellent actress and she performed brilliantly in one of my past dramas. However, her current choice of clothing is against our culture and my principles,” the playwright explained.
Detailing the discussion and acknowledging Saba Qamar’s freedom regarding fashion choices Khalil added: “I know wearing such clothes is her personal choice and I should not have an issue with it but still I have a right to choose."
However, after being inquired about his favorite actor with whom he likes to work repeatedly, the playwright further mentioned actors Humayun Saeed and Adnan Siddiqui.
It's worth noting that in the past, Qamar faced significant criticism from the entertainment industry, including from Mahira Khan, for his inappropriate comments towards Marvi Sirmed during a TV program on the Aurat March.
Following Mahira Khan's criticism, Qamar vowed never to cast her in his dramas, stating he would never forgive her.
In case the readers are not aware, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar is lately making headlines for his scathing attack on actor Nauman Ijaz, stating that he is the person he "hates the most" in the world.
Currently, Nauman Ijaz’s old interview surfaced online during which he was seen labeling Qamar as “Mentally sick.”
