    Superstar Mahira Khan played the female lead in Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s Sadqay Tumhare and also received critical acclaim for her performance in the period saga.

    Explaining his ‘hatred’ for the superstar actress, Khalil Ur Rehman re-shared an old tweet of Mahira where she slammed the writer for verbally abusing human rights activist Marvi Sirmed on national television in March 2020.

    Khalil tweeted, “Ye hai iss aurat ka wo tweet jo iss ne Marvi Sarmad k sath honay walay incident k aglay din kia tha (This is a tweet by Mahira which she posted after the Marvi Sirmed incident)”

    Earlier he confessed on a chat show that he regrets getting on-board the Raees diva in a project based on his own life.

    Adding that he’ll always be upset about it, “Zindagi bhar yeh gham rahega.”

    Latest Comments

    Now in his latest interview, Khalil again commented about his feud with Mahira.

    Qamar said, “I will forgive Khan eventually for working on a project based on my life. I have nothing but respect for her, yet she committed a mistake during the infamous Marvi Sarmad incident. Hence she lost  out on Mere Paas Tum Ho and London Nahi Jaunga as a punishment, otherwise, she was my first choice for either venture. If not Mere Paas Tum Ho, I would have casted Khan in London Nahi Jaunga (instead of Mehwish Hayat.”

    Another Controversy

    Last year the Celebrity Premier League series got halt due to the Meray Paas Tum Ho writer’s abusive conduct on the cricket field.

    According to reliable sources, Khalil, who was the captain of the Peshawar team got into a tussle with the opponent team members of ‘Rawalpindi Stars’ over a player. He argued that the player’s name wasn’t previously mentioned in the list and lost his cool on the matter.

    As a captain, the Pyaray Afzal writer was not allowed to come on the ground but he came and created a havoc, leaving the management and players in shock.

    He was reminded that live footage of the league is being presented on mass media and was taken off the ground.

    Celebrities like Faysal Qureshi and Aijaz Aslam were also present at the stadium.

    “I was shocked to hear the foul language used by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar. Families and children were there too. The man has no manners, no shame. Totally disgraceful,” anchorperson Shahzad Iqbal told The Current.

    Entrepreneur and politician Zulfi Bukhari came on board as a replacement for the future series.

  • Iman Aly clarifies her controversial remarks about Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan

    Iman Aly clarifies her controversial remarks about Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan

    Model-actor Iman Ali is known for being candid and blunt in her interviews. She often expresses her opinions without filtering them in interviews, which lands her in hot water.

    Iman received severe backlash in 2020 when her tongue-in-cheek remarks about industry Pakistani superstars like Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed.

    Iman released all her inhibitions and swung at every question with casual humour, giving usual rapid fire rounds a run for their money. She even said Humayun Saeed may as well have been a doodh/dahi bechnay wala (milk seller) with his typically Punjabi looks.

    When asked about the country’s favourite superstar at the moment, Mahira Khan, Iman had no second guesses. “She should’ve stayed a VJ. She was really good at that and I really liked her at that,” said Iman, chuckling at her own answer.

    Iman also made another revelation – she was offered Raees alongside Shah Rukh Khan before Mahira landed the coveted role. “The people who approached me told me it’s a role opposite Shah Rukh, so I asked them to send me the script. I guess they didn’t really like that,” said Iman.

    When asked about Fawad Khan, Iman said, “He used to make really stupid jokes on set (they were co-stars in their debut film Khuda Kay Liye) so maybe a failed stand-up comedian.”

    During a recent interview with DIVAonline, the Bol star clarified that she was in no way insulting or being insensitive toward Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan when she said that Mahira should’ve stuck to being a VJ and Fawad would’ve been a failed comedian.

    According to the Khuda Kay Liye diva, her statement was spread in the wrong light from a throwback video. Now, Iman said that she was only answering the question ‘What career would they have pursued had they not been actors’. 

    On the work front, Iman is all set to grace the big screen with the upcoming film Tich Button co-starring Farhan Saeed, Feroze Khan, and Sonya Hussyn.

    In a recent interview with Masal magazine, Nargis Fakhri recalled her initial days and revealed, “I didn’t know how to manoeuvre in a new culture. I was told that because I was so authentic and honest in my feelings it wasn’t a good thing. You have to interact with people even if you’re not comfortable with them. You have to put on a game face, which I couldn’t. I was said to be immature.”

    Revelation: Nargis Fakhri was fighting fatal ailment

    She also stated in another interview that after Rockstar’s release, Imitiaz Ali and Ranbir Kapoor never contacted her or helped her with anything. They abandoned her despite being aware of the fact that she knew no one in the industry and was a foreigner.

    Imtiaz Ali and Nargis Fakhri didn't get along on 'Rockstar' sets?

    This was difficult to digest for her.

    Fakhri understood overtime that people have three faces in the industry, a business face, a creative face and the personal face. The Houseful 3 star also underwent a lot of stress as she had to deal with several toxic people.

    “Consequently, I developed health issues. Was I depressed? I guess you can use the word. I was unhappy in my situation and was questioning myself as to why I was still there. I took two years off to get healthy. I did Vipassana meditation in the US,” Nargis Fakhri added.
