Sonya Hussyn has thrashed the writer of Mere Paas Tum Ho and Sadqay Tumharay, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar for his problematic statements about women and his professional associations.
The Saraab star appeared on Geo News’ sports show, Jashan-e-Cricket hosted by Shahzad Iqbal. When the host asked Sonya about her opinion on Special Assistant to the Punjab Chief Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan’s slap incident with PPP MNA Qadir Khan Mandokhail,
She said: “When you appear on TV then you have some responsibility to behave well. If someone deserves it then it’s alright but one should not disrespect women, for instance Khalil Sahab disrespected women. When you are on a media platform then you should keep your personal views aside and talk responsibly.”
Khalil had earlier claimed that he never offered the role of the female lead in his blockbuster drama to Sonya, and nor did he ever want to cast her in the show as he believes she doesn’t have the caliber of being in his play. While the Aangan actress has claimed that she was offered Ayeza’s character in the play but she had turned it down because she can’t tolerate women being shown in a bad light in dramas.
Sonya revealed that Khalil did approach her in the past and still does. She added that he has no rights of casting as he is just a writer.
But Khalil refuted her claim and stated that Sonya was making a false claim on being offered the role. He further added that it was impossible to cast her in the play because he would have refused it outright.
The Kaaf kangana writer also indulged in a misogynist war of words with political commentator Marvi Sirmed in March 2020 which started a debate on his misconduct in the industry.
