Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is often part of controversies and without any surprise, he is again part of the controversy. In an interview, he opposed the upcoming Aurat March and called the posters at Aurat March “pathetic“.
A video clip is going viral on social media in which he is saying that he takes part in house chores and work side by side with his wife. “I have washed clothes, I have cleaned floors with my wife and even taught my wife cooking.”
He added, “And even I did all those work which we normally say that men don’t do. This is all because of love.”
Khalil-ur-Rehman’s statement is being criticized because, in an interview with his wife, she said, “He is that child of the house whose every work is done by us. I have kept him with so much care that you can’t imagine.”
Another viral clip from his interview is making rounds on social media in which he is saying that in his project no director or producer is allowed to show girls in sleeves clothes. People are calling him out for his hypocrisy because in many of his projects like; Punjab Nahi Jaungi, Kaaf Kangna etc there are item songs.
When the host questioned him, he clearly said there are no such songs in his movies.
His recent movie Kaaf Kangna had item song in which Neelum Muneer is dancing but Khalil-ur-Rehman clearly said there is no vulgarity in the item song ‘Khabon Main’.
A person named Muneeb Qadir shared a video and wrote, “Ladies and Gentlemen, here’s presenting you the sheer hypocrisy of Mr. Khalil ur Rehman Qamar and the whole of our self-proclaimed puritans, the moral brigade. Included in this video are clips of movies directed or written by Mr. KRQ himself, i.e. Kaaf Kangana and Punjab Nahin Jaungi. Making people sing, dance and romance for a career is fine but the idea of women stating that they do not allow men to lay hand on them without their consent [‘Mera Jism Meri Marzi’] is be-ghairti? These moral lecturers are only trying to fool you. P.S: The last remark uttered by the guy sitting on the right towards the end of this video is hilarious..”
Watch this video of Khalil-ur-Rehman:
Many people are calling him a ‘hypocrite’ and laughing at his statements. He believes it is fine to use a woman as a prop for the success of his project but it is vulgarity when women stand for their rights.
