Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar
Mr. Qamar has always been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. His statements on feminism and his misogynistic remarks clearly depicts his hatred towards feminism.
Qamar’s latest tweets on social media was about Noor Mukadam, and we can’t even begin to describe how inappropriate his words were.
Writer Khalil-Ur-Rehman in a highly irresponsible and disturbing tweet questions..” Why whenever the filthy rhetoric of feminists begins to die down, a poor Noor Muqaddam dies and a wolf like Zahir Jaffar is revealed.”

As a writer, and someone who has the window to influence masses through television, the man’s mindset is his real problem.
His statement created a controversy and offended many people and celebrities who lashed out at Khail-ur-Rehman Qamar for his insensitive comment on Noor Mukadam’s murder case.
Culture journalist Rafay Mahmood tweet was spot on and he expressed his displeasure on Khalil Ur Rehman’s statement when he said;
“Qamar will remain the best litmus test for the showbiz industry’s moral compass.If you don’t call him out for his vile comments about Noor Mukadam, you don’t have the right to campaign for Noor or bandwagon on any other issue. The Sadafs are always an easy target.”
Iffat Omar also expressed her displeasure and said;
“This is the most irresponsible and disturbing statement by this man”
Sadaf Kanwal
Last year Sadaf kanwal marriage with Shahroz Sabzwari created quite a controversy among Pakistani.
But recently Sadaf kanwal is under the fire again because of her statements which created a huge controversy when;
Kanwal, who recently came to the show with her husband Shehroz Sabzwari, said, “Our husbands are our culture. I have married him, I have to pick up his shoes, I will iron his clothes, which I actually do very little, but I know where Sherry’s clothes are. I know where each of Sherry’s stuff is. And I should know when Sherry has to eat, and what he is eating. I should rightly know all of these because I am his wife,” she said in an interview on ARY News , adding, “because I am a woman, Sherry doesn’t have to know [this] about me. He should know, but I should know more. I believe this, because I’ve grown up seeing this”.
She further said, “There are many liberals who think like you (the interviewer) but for me, feminism is about taking care of my husband and respecting him, something I have been taught to do”.
Many celebrities were infuriated and lashed out on Sadaf kanwal words;
Actor and model Sabeeka Imam tweeted:
“When you don’t know the definition of feminism, start rambling about ironing your husband’s clothes. EPIC!” actor and model Sabeeka Imam tweeted. She went on to add, “There is nothing wrong with ironing clothes and picking up socks. Every human has their own way of expressing love. But a woman’s world does not begin and end there, as opposed to what Mrs. Sabzwari has portrayed.”
She further went on to clarify
Sabeeka wasn’t the only one. Mathira and Dananeer also called out the model and said;
Iman Aly
Iman Aly recent statement was upsetting, putting the transgender community down.
On the recent talk show Ghabrana Nahi Hai the Khuda K Liye actor opened up about the restlessness and the discomfort she had regarding her appearance, revealing that she didn’t find herself beautiful or attractive despite people continuously telling her that she was.
Aly confessed “I don’t like the way I look,I don’t like myself even more, especially because people say I’m so beautiful,” she added, saying that she doesn’t see what they see. “Even in front of a camera, I feel I need a new one. Everywhere I point, I feel ‘ew, khusra, ew, khusra’,” she said, laughing “When I can’t like my face, how can I take a picture and upload it?” she asked, adding that people should understand that she is neither bluffing nor lying, and this is exactly why she is hesitant to take selfies or update her social media accounts regularly.
While Iman Aly was dscribing how she truly feels about herself and her deeply rooted insecurities, But as a celebrity when your words matter you should always be careful with your words and her equating her own perception of unattractiveness with the trans community is not okay.
Mathira also didn’t hold back and gave her two cents
Shoaib Akhtar
Shoaib Akhtar said some upsetting remarks about PSL anthem this year that created quite a controversy.
Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar lashed out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for releasing “the worst song that he had heard in the history of the PSL”.
“If the 10 worst songs of the PSL are compiled, this song will be number one,” he said. “Aren’t you ashamed?” he questioned the makers of the song
The bowler mocked the new song by joking that ever since he played it for his children, “My kid hasn’t spoken to me in three days because of this song”,
“My kids are scared of this song. When they don’t sleep, I tell them I’ll play it for them. That immediately scares them,” he said.
Shoaib Akhtar said jokingly that he would “file a serious case against the PCB through his YouTube vides” for making such an awful song. The cricketer, however, said that the singers were not to blame for the song since they were told to do their jobs a certain way.
The cricketer in the end of the video told the PCB not to take his criticism to heart but make a better song next time. “Make a better song next time and if you can’t, let me know I will sing it for you,” he said.
Sonya Hussyn
Recently in a resurfaced clip Sonya Hussyn while appearing on a talk show hosted by Yasir Hussain, said that she would have rejected ‘Raees’ opposite Shahrukh khan; “No, never,” replied Hussyn. “It was never my dream to work with Shah Rukh Khan. My dream is that your character should be such that you are seen and you’re not just a side character to a hero,” she explained.
This statement created quite a controversy and Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy didn’t seem to like what she said and replied to the post on ‘Grazia Pakistan’. “Don’t think you’ll ever be Mahirah Khan so you won’t ever get to say no – don’t diss other women in the industry, it reflects poorly on you and your upbringing,” she wrote.
Sabeeka Imam
Model Sabeeka Imam recently expressed her opinion on nepotism in a social media post, that offended some people.
She called out the toxic problematic culture of nepotism by saying some people get to debut with renowned industry names like Sajal Aly and Yumna Zaidi without having prior acting experience.
“So it seems like you need zero on screen acting experience and you could also debut with both the amazing Yumna and Sajal. Mujhe bhi itni hi achi LUCK chahiye (I want this kind of good luck) where I don’t have to earn it or prove myself first and it just gets handed to me on a plate!” she wrote on Twitter.
She didn’t directly mentioned his name but it was clear that she is referring to Azaan Sami Khan who is making his debut with Sajal Aly and Yumna Zaidi in Ishq-e-Laa soon.
