Was the ‘Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar viral clash’ set up by Samaa or the real thing?

Pakistani controversial screenwriter Khalil ul Rehman Qamar recently made headlines with his outburst at a woman in Samaa TV’s show Mukalma

.
The woman in the viral clip, Azba Abdullah, who was seen countering Sahil and Qamar, garnered praise from all over the social media. She posted a video of herself explaining that the debate was entirely impersonal and questions will be raised if anyone says something against women such as calling them ‘jahil’.

The statement prompted people to speculate whether the show was staged. Journalist Abdul Waheed Murad tweeted on X (formerly Twitter), claiming that the show was a “setup” and the woman was a worker at Samaa.

However, an inside source told The Current that the woman is indeed an employ of the channel but she sat down on the show as audience numbers were thin. The argument that transpired between the three of them was extemporaneous. The source claimed that nothing was staged.

In the recent viral footage Sahil Adeem claimed that 95 percent of women in Pakistan are uneducated, causing an uproar among the audience.“If you have called girls ‘Jahil,’ you should apologize or show me where the Quran says to use this word for those who don’t know certain things,” Azba said angrily. In response, Sahil shared Arabic verses, which angered the girl. Her reaction to the use of Arabic upset Khalil ul Rehman Qamar, leading to a heated argument between him and the girl.
