"Now, they have become his weakness."
Pakistani actress Resham has publicly criticised renowned screenwriter Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, accusing him of copying Indian films.
Speaking on Suno To Sahi with Hina Niazi, she shared her long-standing grievances with the writer and lamented the decline in his work.
Resham recalled when people admired Khalil for his dialogues, but she believes those days are over.
She remarked: “His words used to be his strength.
“Now, they have become his weakness.”
According to the actress, Khalil’s recent scripts fail to leave a mark, and his writing no longer holds the same power.
She went further, stating that his decline in creative output is a form of divine justice.
Resham said: “Watch how Allah takes things away from people!”
The actress admitted that she was once a fan but no longer holds him in the same regard.
She claimed that his dialogues are now forgettable and fail to resonate with audiences.
One of Resham’s strongest allegations was that Khalil does not create original content. Instead, he borrows heavily from Indian cinema.
She claimed his writing lacks authenticity, which is why his newer works do not generate the same excitement as before.
Resham alleged: “When I saw him recently, all I could see is that he copies films from India.”
She also shed light on her personal encounters with Khalil-ur-Rehman, particularly his dismissive and rude behaviour.
Since they both belong to the entertainment industry, crossing paths is sometimes unavoidable.
However, one interaction left a lasting impression.
She recalled an incident at a gathering hosted by Humayun Saeed following the success of Meray Paas Tum Ho.

Resham said that she greeted Khalil with a Salam, only to be met with hostility.
She recounted:
“He just shouted at me and said, ‘Don’t say salam to me! Stay away!’”
Shocked by his reaction, Resham chose not to escalate the situation in front of others.
“My dignity is very dear to me. Otherwise, believe me, I know how to hold my own and talk back when needed.”
She implied that such confrontations have become a pattern for Khalil.
“He has a very loud, very rude way of talking.”
Resham claimed Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is now more known for his conflicts with women in the industry than for his storytelling.
