Pakistani actress and host, Iffat Omar, has come to the defence of playwright Khalilur Rehman Qamar amidst the scandal surrounding his leaked videos.
Taking to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Omar addressed the controversy, subtly referencing Qamar without directly mentioning his name.
In her post, Omar highlighted the irony that those whom Qamar had often criticized might now be the ones defending him against the release of his private videos. She emphasized, "If two consenting adults are together, their privacy is none of my concern. Their body, their choice."
Qamar recently made headlines after becoming a victim of a honey-trapping scheme orchestrated by a criminal gang. This led to his release after a ransom was paid. The main suspect in the abduction case claimed to have two videos of Qamar, each about one and a half hours long, allegedly showing him trying to get close to a woman who had trapped him.
The suspect also leaked inappropriate videos of Khalilur Rehman.
In a further twist, Qamar alleged that these objectionable videos were made under duress at gunpoint, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
The scandal has sparked widespread discussion in the entertainment industry and beyond, with Iffat Omar's support bringing additional attention to the issue.
