A woman’s favor from God makes her happy, but when another man’s favor comes, you don’t. Read the line over the title again.
Aks Publications
Despite its publication by Aks Publications, the book received mixed reviews. The author wished to write about topics that pertain to the country’s current situation by quite a few netizens.
There were some who disagreed with Qamar’s portrayal of women. As role models, they prefer empowered women rather than tales of “poor men”.
According to one Twitter user, there should be a USB inside the book containing the OST.
There was some controversy surrounding MPTH, a show so popular people thought its rating surpassed that of Game of Thrones when it aired in 2019.
This story dealt with a woman who was unfaithful to her husband. Due to its misogynistic portrayal of women, there was even a legal attempt to stop the show’s final episodes from airing in January 2020. There was a quick dismissal of the petition by the Lahore Civil Court judge.
After about a week, the Sindh High Court summoned Saeed over problematic dialogues he delivered in Qamar’s drama. In her complaint, Sana Saleem alleged that MPTH’s writer, actor, and producer constantly highlighted offensive dialogue about women.
Famous dialogue of Meray Paas Tum Ho
The actress also objected to the show depicting Karachi in a negative light, the famous dialogue ‘do takkay ki aurat’, and a six-year-old setting up his father and teacher.
A lawyer for PEMRA and a lawyer for ARY were also present at the trial to represent their clients. In court, PEMRA’s representative asked if the organization has in-house sensors for monitoring dramas. According to PEMRA’s lawyer, a separate forum is available for them to do so, while keeping in mind that dramas should adhere to society’s moral code.
After hearing the writer’s views on women, one of the actors withdrew from the project, Rehmat Ajmal. The ideas and viewpoints of Mr Khalil Ur Rehman are not acceptable to me. As a result of watching Khalil Ur Rehman’s interview after the project completed, I learned about his problematic views on a variety of topics. The idea of being a part of something so compromising and ill-informed makes me feel ashamed,” she said.
