Qamar acknowledged that his disagreements with certain artists are widely known and not hidden from the public. Speaking about Nauman Ijaz, he stated, “He does not have a personal issue in the conventional sense but harbors strong dislike for the actor.” Qamar emphasized that this aversion is not a fleeting disagreement or difference of opinion, but a deep-seated sentiment he does not intend to hide.
When discussing Mahira Khan, Qamar praised her talent, saying, “I have always respected her as a talented actress and maintained a relationship based on friendship and mutual respect.” However, he added that he could not forgive certain words Mahira had directed at him, noting that while he hopes to let go of the resentment in the future, those comments remain unacceptable to him at present.
Reports suggest that the tension between Qamar and Mahira escalated after she publicly responded to a discussion between Qamar and fellow writer Marvi Sirmed, fueling further debate and controversy in the media.
