A sensational revelation by celebrated playwright Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has sent shockwaves across Pakistan’s entertainment industry, after he openly confirmed marrying the former wife of actor Faisal Qureshi.
Speaking during a recent podcast, Qamar addressed long-circulated rumors for the first time, admitting that he did marry Faisal Qureshi’s ex-wife—but insisted he was not responsible for their divorce.
The revelation came during a striking exchange when the host questioned whether Qamar’s blockbuster drama Mere Paas Tum Ho was inspired by his own life. The drama famously revolves around a woman leaving her husband for another man, raising eyebrows due to its eerie resemblance to real-life speculation.
Qamar firmly denied any personal connection to the storyline.
“This drama was not based on my life at all,” he said, adding that while people drew parallels during its airing, those assumptions were misplaced.
However, what truly stunned listeners was his candid acknowledgment of the marriage.
Calling Faisal Qureshi a close friend, Qamar revealed that he had helped introduce him to the entertainment industry and praised him as an exceptional actor. Despite their close ties, he maintained that the divorce between Faisal and his first wife was inevitable.
“I even tried to make them understand and resolve their issues,” Qamar said, emphasizing that at the time, he had only met Faisal’s former wife twice—and addressed her respectfully.
But the biggest mystery remains unanswered.
Why did he marry her?
In a move that has only deepened intrigue, Qamar declined to reveal the reason, saying he would “speak about it openly soon.”
The statement has ignited intense debate on social media, with fans and critics questioning the timeline, relationships, and the blurred lines between reel and real life.
As speculation grows, one thing is clear—this story is far from over.
