Recently, his drama serial Main Manto Nahi Hoon received widespread public praise, impressive TRPs, and high viewership. The writer also faced criticism for showing a love story between professor and student.
Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar recently appeared in Mansoor Ali Khan’s podcast, where he revealed the real-life inspiration behind the character of Surriya.
Talking about it, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar said, “I was expecting that this character would become a hit because I knew Saima — as an artist, she was made for this role. I always take inspiration from real life. Behind Surriya was a woman I knew whose two children were killed. She endured this immense pain with patience until Allah took revenge Himself. Allah says, ‘When you don’t take revenge, I do it for you.’ That was the message I wanted to convey through the drama.” Here is the link to the video:
While praising actress Saima, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar added, “Fifty percent of our job is done when an actor appears on screen and completely owns the role. Saima did exactly that — she came, she saw, and she conquered. That’s exactly what we wanted from her, and she delivered perfectly.” Here is the link to the video:
