Society dislikes confident women: Mariyam Nafees
In an interview with Madeha Naqvi, actor Mariyam Nafees dropped some truth bombs. "I don't know how this will be interpreted, but I will genuinely say that our society is very patriarchal," she said. "People do not like women who are confident." Mariyam related her insights to her own experiences, noting that society can't stomach a woman who speaks her mind. "Even some of the people watching us right now would have a problem with us having a conversation so early in the morning. They'd want us to stay inside our kitchens and take care of our children. It's so unfortunate because people say things like, "Girls like this don't attract boys. They don't like dominant, opinionated women.'" She observed that often women feed into the narrative. "I get to hear this so many times, that I'm too opinionated. And this is something women say to me, even the ones who live abroad and have access to education." Unapologetic about how she carries herself, she added, "I'm entitled to my opinion. Why can I not be opinionated? People can't digest this." The Yaqeen Ka Safar actor believes that his mindset is extended to those who work in the entertainment industry at large. She feels that people have uninformed, biased perceptions of how celebrities and media personalities act, which stem from a general sense of contempt towards showbiz professions. "People don't like women in the industry, and we come from a variety of different backgrounds. They pour scorn on our work," she said. "What are we doing wrong? We offer prayers diligently at our sets, we have our meals together, and we make the most of the 12 hours we are required to spend with each other. No one at our sets and studios considers other people and professions to be beneath them." Meaningful bonds Seated opposite to Mariyam, Rabab Hashim chimed in, adding that it's impractical to imagine crew members isolating themselves when working so closely. "We spend most of the week working together for six to eight months. So it's impossible to be that person all the time. You can't do it." She added, "I'm sure some people might still do it, as there are always exceptions. But for the majority of us, we live, breathe, and eat together. Everything's happening all at once." The two actors took the opportunity to look back on how their friendship blossomed on set. Mariyam began by sharing that she doesn't have many close friends in the industry, but having shared a lot of screentime with Rabab brought the two closer in a way Mariyam didn't expect. "[Rabab] takes time to open up to people, but when does, she unravels all at once," the Neem actor enthused. "Because I'm originally from Islamabad, she would bring homemade curry and bhindi for me. And I'd think, 'Yes, this girl! I'm going to keep her with me." Rabab agreed that she's an introvert who gets comfortable with people at her own pace. Voicing her admiration of Mariyam, the Meray Mohsin actor said, "She's amazing. We became friends fairly quickly and the set was also a fun place to be. We had lovely co-stars, so our days would be spent well and we would hang out often." Sharing her honest first impression of Mariyam, Rabab said with a laugh, "I found her very overwhelming. I kept wondering, 'Is she actually like this?' But as I got to know her, I realised that you need at least one friend in your life who's this energetic."

Khalilur Rehman Qamar claims talk show clash on 'Taghoot' was staged
Listen to article Pakistani screenwriter and poet Khalilur-Rehman Qamar has made a startling claim regarding last year's viral 'Taghoot scandal,' stating that the controversial talk show confrontation was 'pre-planned' and not spontaneous. Speaking on a podcast this week, Qamar alleged that the televised clash between Islamic scholar Saahil Adeem and a female guest was orchestrated for dramatic effect. The episode, aired in June 2024, had sparked nationwide debate over gender roles, religious authority, and freedom of expression. Qamar claimed that the show's producers intentionally staged the conflict to provoke public outrage and media attention. 'It wasn't an accident. The narrative was scripted to reach a certain climax,' he said. According to Qamar, as soon as Saahil Adeem referred to women as ignorant, he was about to intervene to clarify that ignorance is not exclusive to women — he considers anyone who hasn't read the Holy Quran with translation, whether male or female, to be ignorant. However, before he could speak, a female participant interrupted, and the direction of the discussion took a sharp turn. Khalilur-Rehman Qamar also expressed his astonishment at the woman's demand for an apology from a scholar like Saahil Adeem. In his view, everyone makes mistakes, but what triggered his anger was the perceived disrespect. He stated that the entire incident clearly shows the producers' intention was to create provocation and extract a specific type of reaction — and that they succeeded in doing so. The programme, aired in June last year, featured Saahil Adeem making harsh remarks about women. He claimed that if 100 women were surveyed, he would find 95% to be ignorant, obsessed only with makeup and TikTok, and unaware of fundamental Islamic concepts such as 'Taghoot'. In response, a participant named Azbah Abdullah protested against his statements and demanded an apology. The situation quickly escalated into a heated exchange. Adeem questioned whether the young woman even knew the meaning of 'Taghoot'. When she admitted she didn't, he declared that this was precisely what ignorance was — and that she should accept it. The argument didn't stop there. The woman countered that the reason many women are deprived of knowledge is due to a patriarchal society, but Saahil Adeem disagreed, insisting that calling out ignorance is a religious obligation. During the heated discussion, Qamar also lost his composure. He expressed anger at the young woman, stating that if listening to Arabic verses was painful for her, it was unacceptable. He then asked the host to cut her microphone — a moment that intensified the controversy. The episode quickly went viral on social media. Now, nearly a year later, Qamar's revelation that the entire incident was 'scripted.'
