Actress Navin Waqar has talked about stereotypical characters that are assigned to female characters and said that in Pakistan people think that it’s clothing that defines the character of women.
The Challawa actress questioned that why a man cannot be of a low character. She addressed the question about the famous writer and director Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s popular ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’ dialogue and said that why do people even write these problematic dialogues, she clapped on Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar’s dialogue.
She further said that she thinks men and women both are responsible. “We cannot put blame on one gender, the person who has to do bad will always do bad regardless of the ‘gender’.” Waqar continued, “I don’t know Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar will surely be after me after hearing this but these dialogues should not be written, It is wrong.”

Qamar made headlines in 2019 after his play ‘Mere Pass Tum Ho’ became popular after one of the series’ dialogues ‘Do Takkay Ki Aurat’. The writer in an interview about the play stated his view of women and said that if women are convinced of equality with men, then they too should be abused by men. His thinking angered many feminist educators at that time leading them to make a public declaration of war on Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar.
