    Naumaan Ijaz really likes Adnan Siddiqui’s performance in Gentleman

     
     
    Adnan Siddiqui is one of Pakistan’s most beloved actors, hosts, and producers, having captivated audiences for over thirty years with his work. His legendary performances have made him an iconic figure and left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. On the set of Tamasha, Siddiqui gave an interview to Something Haute.

      The host Hassan Chaudhry asked, “Rehmaati, everyone across the board is praising your performance, both within Pakistan and internationally. At this stage in your career, with such positive feedback coming in, how does it make you feel? Are you proud of yourself, glad, or simply enjoying the recognition?”

      Adnan Siddiqui replied, “It feels really good when your work is appreciated, when your efforts are acknowledged, and when your hard work is recognized. But I always emphasize that the credit is not mine alone. No actor can achieve that level of performance without the support of their fellow actors. Along with them, the production team, producer, director, writer, and even the director of photography all put in their hard work, and that’s how a final product comes together.”

    The host revealed, “Let me tell you, Adnan, you’ve got fans across the border too! Many top stars and actors have been praising your work and watching Gentleman. They’re blown away by your performance.”
    The actor said, “Even the stars of my own country, those who speak less about others have praised me.”

     “Naumaan Ijaz, known for his reserved praise, personally texted me to commend my performance in ‘Gentleman’. His recognition means a lot, as he doesn’t often give such praise. It shows there’s something exceptional about my role. While I value the competition in our industry, it’s important to remember that we are all united as one,” Siddiqui added.

    Gentleman is directed by Haissam Hussain. The dramas air on Green Entertainment on Sunday at 8:00 PM.

    Nadia Afgan refuses to work with Khalil-Ur-Rehman Qamar

    Very few names in the entertainment industry generate as much heated reactions as does Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar.
     
    Television star Nadia Afgan has become the latest major name to refuse working with the misogynistic writer.

    Recently, Nadia appeared as a guest on ‘Subh Ka Samaa Madeha Kay Sath’ where the host Madeha Rizvi’s asked, “Is there any artist in the industry with whom you haven’t gotten along, a writer, director, or actor, with whom you don’t want to work?”
    The star replied, “Whenever I mention a name, my senior fraternity later tells me, “Look dear, this is very wrong. You should maintain a certain discretion instead of speaking out openly all the time.”

    “I have never worked with Khalil sahib, and InshaAllah, I never will. I have never worked with him, and I don’t intend to either,” Afgan added.

  • Old video of KRQ asking women to kidnap him to show equality has internet in fits

    Old video of KRQ asking women to kidnap him to show equality has internet in fits

     
    An old video of controversial writer Khalil-Ur-Rehman has gone viral on social media after he was abducted and held for ransom by a woman.

    In the video, he talks about equality, challenging women to abduct a man and assault him.

    Qamar said, “I’ve never heard of a case where five girls together kidnapped a man. So, if you want to achieve equality, then do it and show us.”
    The host asked, “Alright, how about you kidnap someone?”
    Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar responded, “Kidnap me, then I’ll find out if you’re really achieving equality.”

    Qamar has lodged an FIR stating that a woman named Amna contacted him, inviting him to her home late in the night to “discuss a drama project.” When he arrived, armed men assaulted him and held him for ransom.

     Social media is abuzz with reactions to the news, and many could not resist taking a dig at Qamar’s earlier statement. Here are some of the funniest reactions:

  • Khalil ur Rehman Qamar doesn’t just hate women, he hates Naumaan Ijaz too

    Khalil ur Rehman Qamar doesn’t just hate women, he hates Naumaan Ijaz too

    Fresh off an appearance on a television show where he again misbehaved with women, controversial screenwriter Khalil ur Rehman Qamar has passed harsh remarks about Naumaan Ijaz during an appearance on Ayesha Jahanzeb’s show.

    The host asked the ‘Meray Pas Tum Ho’ writer, “Does Khalil Ur Rehman hate anyone,” to which he replied, “There is only one man in the whole world that I have hated, and that is Naumaan Ijaz. I have been angry at people, but he is the only person I have hated. Naumaan is undoubtedly a brilliant actor, but personally, he is a disgraceful man. I cast Naumaan in one of my plays for a very negative character.”

    Ijaz, a veteran of the television screen, is known for speaking his mind. He responded to Qamar’s controversial remarks, stating: “He is mentally sick. I feel sorry for him.”

    We agree with Noumaan, Qamar really does appear to be mentally unwell. This much misogyny is not the product of a healthy or sane mind.

    Large-scale skirmishes between the Punjab police and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers erupted in the provincial metropolis on Wednesday when the law-enforcers blocked their routes for their participation in the ‘Azadi March’, announced by party chairman Imran Khan.

    Dozens of PTI workers and leaders were arrested including former Punjab health minister Dr Yasmin Rashid, Andaleeb Abbas, Zubair Niazi, Mian Mamunur-Rasheed, Ejaz Chaudhry, Jamshed Iqbal Cheema, and former vice chairman Chief Minister’s Complaint Cell Nasir Salman. However, most of the leaders were released soon after their arrest.

    The party workers responded to the call given byImran Khan, who had been demanding immediate dissolution of assemblies and announcement of date for general election. The government’s plan that not a single vehicle should get out of Lahore,however, failed.

    Police tear-gassed and lathi-charged the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf marchers at Batti Chowk and Bhatti Gate area whenthey attempted to remove containers, placed on roads. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaflawyers and workers had scuffles with the police outside Aiwan-e-Adl and Post Master General Office. Police subjected lawyers to torture outside the Aiwan-e-Adl. A Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader, Zubair Niazi,was injured during a scuffle with the police. He was also arrested, but lawyers managed to rescue him from police. Lawyers also removed barriers from in front of Aiwan-e-Adl.

    The lawyercaravan clashed with the police, broke barriers and left for Islamabad. Police damaged busses, hired by lawyers for the marchers. The marchers were also intercepted at Shahdara. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf workers removed all containers at Batti Chowk, Ravi Bridge, Niazi Chowk and Shahdara and cleared the roads to move towards Islamabad.

    Meanwhile, another Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf caravan, led by Hammad Azhar, managed to overcome obstacles and leave Lahore for Islamabad. However, he received a minor injury. The police stopped the PTI workers about 100 metres before the Ravi Bridge.

    Police refused to allow Dr Yasmin Rashid to move towards Batti Chowk. When she tried to move ahead, the policemen hit her vehicle with a heavy stick,damaging badly the windscreen. Shahdara and Farrukhabad areas were turned into battlefield where the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf workers offered resistance and managed to cross the city by removing the obstacles.

    The marchers threw tear-gas shells back at police and threw stones and bricks. Police resorted to baton-charge and fired tear-gas shells from Ravi Toll Plaza to Shahdara Chowk, which forced the PTI workers to disperse for some time.

    ‘Will choose ‘great man’ Khalil-ur-Rehman over Marvi Sirmed’: Feroze Khan gets candid

    Actor Feroz Khan made it clear on Tabish Hashmi’s chat show that he will choose Khalil-ur-Rehman over Marvi Sirmed.

    The actor said that if he had been asked to choose between social activist Marvi Sirmed and Khalil-ur-Rehman, he would have sided with the writer. Speaking on the show, the Gul-e-Rana star argued for choosing the Pyarey Afzal writer and claimed that looking at the surveys conducted on the internet, most Pakistanis choose him.

    He revealed that initially there were differences between him and the Sadqay Tumharay writer on some issues but now matters have been settled between the two.

    The host asked the actor if he was not part of the industry and as an ordinary person he was asked to choose between Sirmed or Qamar, whose side would he take? To which the actor immediately replied that he would choose the Mere Paas Tum Ho writer and at the same time he also called Qamar the best man.

    “I respect him a lot. He is a very loving person and a great man. We had some differences but we have sorted it. He’s a great guy. So I will choose him,” he said.

    Although the actor did not explicitly say that Khalil had the civility and distinction to speak, he argued that only those who respect others get respect. Talking on the same subject, he also said that now the differences between him and Qamar are over but he did not clarify what were the issues between them.

    Khalil once objected on Feroze being casted in one of his dramas.

  • Khalil ur Rehman Qamar called a ‘hypocrite’ after he attends protest for motorway rape victim

    Khalil ur Rehman Qamar called a ‘hypocrite’ after he attends protest for motorway rape victim

    Social media users are calling Khalil ur Rehman Qamar a “hypocrite” after he was spotted at the protest in Lahore held to demand justice for the motorway rape victim.

    According to details, Qamar was also called out by a member of the civil society Husnain Jamil Faridi while he was addressing local media channels, the clip of which has gone viral on social media. Netizens lauded Faridi for bashing Qamar and hit out at the writer for his misogynistic comments.

    Khalil ur Rehman Qamar has been at the receiving end of criticism and hate ever since he publicly abused journalist Marvi Sirmed on live television, back in March.

    ICYMI, a few days before the Aurat March, Qamar and Marvi were invited to be a part of a panel discussion on Neo TV’s show Aaj Ayesha Ehtesham Kay Saath. The topic of discussion was a petition against the Aurat March in the Lahore High Court (LHC). The petition, which had called the march “un-Islamic” with a “hidden agenda to spread vulgarity”, had been dismissed by the court that said it couldn’t be banned under the law of the land. Qamar while speaking against the slogan ‘Mera Jism Meri Marzi‘ launched a tirade against Sirmed when she murmured the same as he was talking. He hurled expletives her way and abused her on live television. The TV channel was later fined Rs500,000 (0.5 million) for airing Qamar’s abusive and misogynistic remarks.

    Meanwhile, as per the latest reports, the police have identified one of the suspects behind the gruesome incident that shook the nation. The individual, namely Abid Ali is a resident of Haroonabad town of Punjab’s Bahawalnagar district, is a proclaimed offender, and has been nominated in multiple cases earlier as well. While Ali is still at large, the other suspect identified by the Punjab government Waqarul Hassan reportedly surrendered himself on Sunday at Lahore’s Model Town police station. He claimed that his brother-in-law was using the mobile phone which had wrongly implicated him in the crime, adding that he himself was not involved. The police have said that they will conclude the matter after they receive the DNA report of the suspect.

  • Neo TV fined Rs0.5 million for airing Khalilur Rehman’s abusive comments

    Neo TV fined Rs0.5 million for airing Khalilur Rehman’s abusive comments

    The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) has slapped a fine of Rs500,000 (0.5 million) on private TV channel Neo News for violating its law and codes and airing abusive and misogynistic remarks by writer-director Khalilur Rehman Qamar in one of its programmes earlier this year. The regulatory body had earlier also issued a show-cause notice to the channel when the incident took place.

    According to reports, the authority also instructed the TV channel to strictly observe the laws and code of conduct in matters pertaining to gender and to adopt a strict policy in this regard.

    Back in March, a few days before the Aurat March, Qamar and journalist Marvi Sirmed were invited to be a part of a panel discussion on Neo TV’s show Aaj Ayesha Ehtesham Kay Saath. The topic of discussion was a petition against the Aurat March in the Lahore High Court (LHC). The petition, which had called the march “un-Islamic” with a ” hidden agenda to spread vulgarity”, had been dismissed by the court that said it couldn’t be banned under the law of the land. Qamar while speaking against the slogan ‘Mera Jism Meri Marzi‘ launched a tirade against Sirmed when she murmured the same as he was talking. He hurled expletives her way and abused her on live television.

    The incident had stirred a debate on social media with artists, journalists and politicians condemning the incident and calling for a boycott of Qamar.

    WATCH: Resham tells Khalil ur Rehman Qamar that he is not even worth one ‘taka’

    A number of high court lawyers reportedly also filed complaints in Pemra’s Council of Complaints against the programme. All three complainants stated that Rehman abused Sirmed for chanting the slogan mera jism, meri marzi, calling his conduct “highly objectionable” and against Pemra laws. They argued that the channel violated PEMRA’s directives and failed to perform their duties. It is pertinent to mention here that NEO News issued an apology to Sirmed and did not invite Qamar to any of its programmes again.

    After hearing the arguments from both sides, the Council of Complaints concluded that Qamar’s comments were “abusive and gender-biased” and that the channel violated several laws, including the Constitution by airing his remarks. The council also noted that the channel “failed to observe an effective delay mechanism” and that “the host of the programme could have employed various other methods to control the situation which were not opted at that time.”

    Though the council recommended that a fine of Rs1m be imposed on the channel and a warning be issued to it, they later approved a fine of Rs0.5m on the channel along with a warning.

  • Feroze Khan criticises Khalil ur Rehman Qamar for being arrogant

    Feroze Khan, who recently announced that he will be quitting the entertainment industry, appeared on Waseem Badami’s show and criticised Meray Paas Tum Ho writer, Khalilur Rehman Qamar for being too arrogant.

    “I am not a very big fan of Khalil Sahab because I think he is very arrogant,” said Feroze. “He has said some inappropriate words for my mentors, or in human capacity, that I have turned such kings into beggars. It doesn’t suit any person to say such things.”

    He also revealed why he was not considered for the role of Danish in Meray Paas Tum Ho.

    The Khaani actor told that he couldn’t be a part of the project due to money issues. “I lost the show because I asked to be paid.”

    When the host Waseem Badami asked how much did Humayun Saeed earn then, Feroze replied: “I am not sure to what extent it suited Humayun to cast me in his production – that angle I am not aware of, but I do think Khalil sahib didn’t like the idea of an actor demanding money for performing on a script written by him.”

    Humayun had earlier revealed that the role of ‘Danish‘ in MPTH was meant to be played by Adeel Hussain and then Feroze Khan. Yet both actors did not play the role, leaving it for Humayun.

    Talking about the actor’s decision to quit showbiz, Khan said that he’s completely satisfied with his decision.
