Prominent Pakistani playwright Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar has appeared on Momin Saqib’s show ‘Had Kardi’ where the writer responded to the unsubstantiated allegations made by well-known Pakistani actresses Sonya Hussyn and Iman Ali.
Basically, in the conversation held between the popular screenwriter and the host during the show, Qamar talked about all those actresses who made false allegations regarding turning down his scripts.
Here are the exact words of Khalil Ur Reham:
“One such case happened earlier when Sonya Hussyn said that she was offered ‘Mere Pass Tum Ho’, that too after the drama became a phenomenal hit.”
“Later on, she met me at a success party, Sonya was coming to me, I stopped her and asked, ‘Did you say ‘Mere Pass Tum Ho’ was offered to you?’, to which she agreed, I called Nadeem Baig and Humayun Saeed who also admitted that they offered Sonya Hussyn for the role.”
“I told Sonya, ‘If they offered you my script, you were honored but I still didn’t want you to be in the role.”

“Also, it doesn’t mean that she is not a good actress, she was nowhere in my contemplation at all I didn’t write it for her, there is no arrogance in that.
“I was given Ayeza’s name to which I agreed, yes, I needed Humayun and Adnan one hundred percent.”

Moving on, the famous writer talked about Iman Ali.
“Iman Ali can say anything, I never wanted her in ‘Punjab Nahi Jaungi’, It could be her dream to work in ‘Punjab Nahi Jaungi’ but she could never be the heroine of that film, if she was cast I would have not made it then”
Here is the link when Iman Ali claims that she left ‘Punjab Nahi Jaungi’ 3 days before shooting.
