Humayun Saeed’s advice to renowned writer and director Khalilur Rehman Qamar has taken social media by storm.
In a candid conversation on a talk show, the Main Manto Nahi Hoon star humorously yet wisely urged the controversial writer to “stop giving interviews”, suggesting that his fame speaks louder than his words.
“He is already famous,” said Humayun with a smile, adding that sometimes silence can do more for an artist’s legacy than endless debates.
The actor said that while their friendship is now on solid ground, there was once a time when Khalilur Rehman Qamar stayed upset with him for almost a year over a creative difference.
Their dynamic has long intrigued fans, as both are among the most powerful names in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
Humayun Saeed and Khalilur Rehman Qamar have worked together on several hit projects.
The duo’s most iconic collaboration remains Mere Paas Tum Ho, a drama that not only broke viewership records but also sparked nationwide discussions over its themes and dialogues.
Their professional synergy has produced some of the most memorable moments on screen, blending strong performances with emotionally charged writing.
Humayun, who began his career in the 1990s, is widely regarded as one of Pakistan’s most bankable stars.
From Mehndi and Doraha on television to blockbuster films like Punjab Nahi Jaungi and Jawani Phir Nahi Ani, he has seamlessly transitioned between TV and cinema.
He is also a successful producer under the banner Six Sigma Plus, helping nurture new talent and quality storytelling in Pakistan’s showbiz industry.
Khalilur Rehman Qamar, meanwhile, has long been admired for his poetic dialogues and unapologetic opinions.
His scripts, including Pyaray Afzal, Sadqay Tumhare, and Mere Paas Tum Ho, have earned critical acclaim.
However, his outspoken nature and controversial remarks often make headlines, leading to heated debates both online and on television.
