he was held at gunpoint while two other people recorded him
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has addressed the leaked video that has been circulating online.
The screenwriter became a honeytrap victim when he met a woman named Aamna Arooj at 4 am in Lahore.
Things took a dark turn when he was taken captive, robbed and subjected to torture by a group of men.
The kidnappers then transported him to multiple locations while demanding a ransom from his family, threatening him with death.
Throughout the ordeal, the assailants confiscated Qamar’s mobile phone, watch and cash.
They also forced him to transfer Rs. 267,000 (£740) to their account.
One of the alleged kidnappers claimed to have private videos of Khalil and threatened to leak them.
Although Arooj and 11 others were arrested, the matter took a twist when a private video appeared online.
The video featured Khalil and Arooj sitting on a sofa and talking.
It then appeared to show a shirtless Khalil passionately kissing the woman.
On social media, many expressed disappointment, sharing older clips of Khalil that highlighted the irony of his previous statements and confrontational demeanour.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has now given his side of the story.
While speaking to journalist Muneezay Moeen, Khalil detailed what led to the leaked video.
He claimed that when inside the room, he was held at gunpoint while two other people recorded him with Aamna Arooj.
Khalil said Arooj was an active gang member and was a leading figure in the plot.
According to the screenwriter, the kidnappers asked him to perform an intimate act with Arooj whilst they filmed.
He was then forced to remove his shirt and told to perform the act.
However, Khalil told his kidnappers that he could not do it because he was depressed.
He told them that it was not possible for him and that is when they left him and did not force him further.
Khalil went on to claim that he did not file an FIR until five days later because he was so traumatised.
He already told the police about the leaked video but they did not mention it in the FIR as he feared it would bring a bad name to Pakistan.
Khalil added that he has taken a stand for all the men who have gone through something similar.
