Controversial writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has finally broken his silence about the leaked video that has been making headlines for weeks.
During a call, journalist Muneezay Moeen asked Khalil Ur Rehman about sex tape, to which he responded, “I was held at gunpoint and forced into a horrific situation. They demanded that I perform an intimate act with her, which they wanted to film. I was forced to remove my shirt, but I was in a state of deep depression and couldn’t bring myself to do it. I told them it was impossible for me, and thankfully, they left me alone and didn’t force me further. It was a traumatic experience that I will never forget.”
The video came out just as Hassan Shah, the mastermind of the honey trap that resulted in the writer’s kidnapping for ransom, was arrested. In an interview with Aik Pakistan hosted by Syed Ali Haider, the unknown man threatened that he would release the videos he has.
The video is in clear contradiction of the misogynistic writer’s account of what happened that night. He said in a police press conference that he went to the woman’s house at 4:40 am “to discuss a drama project.” When asked by a reporter about why he went that late to an unknown woman’s house, he said that he had been advised by his doctor to avoid sunlight for five years.
This will not be the first time that Qamar has landed himself in hot water. Qamar is known for speaking his mind, but his views often spark controversy. He has faced criticism for his comments on feminism and gender issues, and many of his statements have ignited debates and discussions.
Hassan Shah and his accomplice, Rafiq, were taken into custody in Peshawar. Shah is accused of leading a 12-member gang, including women that allegedly trapped Qamar and then released compromising videos of him.

Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty was an action hero on screen and a real-life hero off screen. About 28 years ago, the star rescues 128 women survivors of sex trafficking. All these years later, this kind act has come to light through one of the women saved in that operation, Charimaya Tamang.
The incident occurred on February 5, 1996, when the Mumbai police raided the red light area at Kamathipura and rescued 456 women, including 128 from Nepal.
Many of these women did not have proof of citizenship; hence the Nepal government refused to take them back. When Shetty came to know about this, he took matters into his own hands, arranging a flight, and paying for tickets of all the 128 women so that they may reach home safely.
Shetty gives the credit of the operation to the Mumbai police and his mother-in-law, Vipula Kadri, founder of the ‘Save the Children’ NGO.
During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shetty said, “We didn’t think about the cost of flight tickets. The effort was what counted. My mother-in-law inspired us all. She took the risk of rescuing the girls, getting into the bad books of the mafia.”
Despite the danger, Shetty’s actions remained low-profile to protect the women involved. “We didn’t want to glorify ourselves. Given that these girls were participating, it wasn’t right. This mafia never lets go. The operation needed to be low-profile, and it was,” Shetty added.
Today, the 128 women, including Charimaya Tamang, have rebuilt their lives, thanks to the compassion and bravery of Suniel Shetty and his team. Their stories remind us that a single act of kindness can change countless lives.

Actress and digital content creator Fatima Effendi is never afraid to speak her mind. Recently, she appeared as a guest on ‘FHM Podcast’ where she talked about her unfiltered thoughts on extramarital affairs, social media, and the changing dynamics of relationships.
Fatima said, “These days’ men are a bit scared before they start affairs as they fear being found out on social media and their wives leaving them. This is a change from what used to happen before.”
Fatima highlighted that women frequently target the other woman when they find out about an affair. “When an affair comes to light, women should not target the other woman. Women should look at their own men instead of looking at the women around them.”
