Ever since scriptwriter Khalil ur Rehman Qamar went ‘off the rails’ on Marvi Sarmad, the public is starting to get the real sense of who Khalil is as a person. One of the shows written by Khalil was Sadqay Tumharay which was based on the writer’s on life story. The actor who played the role of Khalil, Adnan Malik, recently opened up about his character in the drama.
The drama was penned by Qamar and directed by renowned director Mohammad Ehteshamuddin. The plot was based on Qamar’s real-life story.
Set in the 1980s, Sadqay Tumharay follows the story of Shanno (played by Mahira Khan) who is betrothed to her cousin Khalil the day she was born. While Shanno grows up in the village, Khalil moves to the big city. He is treated as the ‘Prince of Punjab’ because of which he turns out to be an arrogant man.
Initially, Khalil is hesitant about meeting Shanno and avoids her but he then sees her in his dream and decides to meet her. The two fall in love at first sight, but fate intervenes and Shanno’s parents break off the engagement as they want her to marry her paternal cousin Fayaz.
A family friend of theirs advises them to elope but the two decide against it. However, later they decide to run away and get married. But just as they are about to get married Shanno’s mother pretends that she is committing suicide causing Shanno to abandon her plans.
A family drama ensues, dark secrets are revealed and Shanno and Khalil end up not getting married to each other.
I think this sums up my views in general regarding KUQ & me playing him in Sadqay Tumhare. 🤢 https://t.co/zEQckWOgLu

People on Twitter commented that by not marrying Khalil, Shanno dodged a bullet and Adnan agreed with them. In turn of recent events, we all have to agree that Shanno definitely dodged a bullet there.
In a successive tweet, Adnan Malik also talked about the power of the ‘Mera Jism Meri Marzi‘ slogan. The same slogan that pushed Khalil ur Rehman over the edge. However, Adnan’s opinion of the slogan was a bit different.
I’m in awe of the sheer power of 4 words strung together: #MeraJismMeriMarzi This slogan has destabilized centuries of patriarchy & triggered a man renown for his eloquence; unmasking a rabid, inarticulate, hate-spewing misogynist. Just 4 words. How frail our male egos can be.
