The great writer often makes headlines for his controversial statements and bold stance on various issues.
Recently, Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar made an appearance in RNN’s podcast hosted by Bushra Khan and Naeem Hanif. In the podcast KRQ talked about the respect he gets from India and why has he changed his stance of not working in India.
Talking about it, Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar said, “After this particular incident, I want to announce that I am now ready to work with India. Previously, I had been refusing to work with India for years, but now I would personally love to work there. I am deeply hurt because the country I served with passion has not done justice to me. They have wronged me.”
Mere Pass Tum Ho writer added, “We don’t respect our heroes. There is a trend here to turn heroes into culprits. I remember that whenever I visited India, people there respected me so much—sometimes even more than one would respect their own parents. Their actors would start crying while talking to me on the phone, out of respect. But our own people don’t show that kind of respect. My Indian fans support me immensely. I am in pain after seeing the behavior of Pakistani fans toward me”
Previously, Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar said that he refused to work in India because they don’t treat Pakistani writers, artists and filmmakers on the same level as Pakistanis do. He said that if Pakistani artists will get respect in India, he will write script for them but has now changed his decision. Here is the link to the video from one of his old interviews:
