'Stay away from me'; Resham recalls Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar's rude behaviour with her

 Iconic actress Resham has dissed Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar in a way that only she could manage, asserting that his writing no longer possesses the impact it once did. 

In a recent interview, the veteran actress expressed dissatisfaction with the acclaimed yet controversial writer.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, recognized for his divisive statements and once-admired scripts, has been a topic of heated debate for several years. While his previous works, such as Pyaray Afzal and Mere Paas Tum Ho made a significant impression, his latest scripts have failed to recreate the magic. Resham believes that the reason for this is that he has lost his flair.  

She recounted a surprising personal experience with Khalil-ur-Rehman at an event, detailing how the writer, infamous for misogynistic comments, openly disrespected her. 

She remembered being invited to a gathering by Humayun Saeed.  
What happened there left her stunned. “When I greeted Khalil-ur-Rehman, he aggressively retorted, ‘Don’t say salam, stay away from me!’ Oh my God, I can’t even convey how he phrased it—it distorted my expression. I simply stepped back to prevent creating a scene at the event. I hold my respect in high regard, otherwise, I swear I know how to react to such behavior," she narrated. 

During the interview, Resham also fervently spoke about the importance of humility, proclaiming, “I genuinely believe that one should not raise their head in arrogance, as that falls into the realm of pride.” The discussion took an unexpected turn when the interviewer inquired if she would ever accept a role crafted by Khalil-ur-Rehman if it truly resonated with her.
That is when Resham disclosed her disillusionment with the writer, criticizing how his scripts have become mere replicas of their former selves.  

Yet, she did not end her critique there. Voicing her disappointment, she remarked, “I was once among his many great fans, but recently, I have noticed that he is copying Indian dramas. None of his dialogues are memorable anymore, which was once his biggest strength.”
This revelation has once proved that Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is one of the most controversial figures in the industry. Previously celebrated for crafting memorable dialogues, Resham’s comments have brought up concerns about whether his impact on Pakistani storytelling remains as significant as it used to be.
