Talking about it, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar said, “What are you teaching society? Aren’t we all watching what’s happening on social media? I am only developing a fictional relationship. Haven’t teachers in reality married their students? We have even seen married teachers falling for their students and ending up marrying them. He is just an unmarried professor. Please have mercy on him. People have already decided they will criticize it no matter what. How do you know what the script is? Yes, you have the right to your opinion, but let’s wait and see what happens in the drama.” Here is the link to the video:
