Not everyone that is part of ‘Meray Pass Tum Ho‘ cast is proud of the drama serial. Actress Rehmat Ajmal for one does not endorse the ideas projected in the drama serial.
Particularly after the writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s controversial interview elaborating how infidelity is standard for a woman but not a man, there was a lot of backlash surrounding the serial.
People then pointed out a problematic pattern of thinking and the consequent creations of the writer.
Actress Rehmat Ajmal, who plays Mehwish’s friend Ayesha in the drama serial, stated that she only became aware of Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s problematic views ‘WAY after the project was completed‘.

Rehmat took to Instagram to explain that now that she knows better, she is “not proud to be part of something that is so compromising and ill-informed”.
To add to that, she wanted to distance herself from the writer. She states;
“I absolutely do not endorse the concepts and viewpoints of Mr. Khalil Ul Rehman”.

This was Rehmat Ajmal’s television debut. Yet she still wants to ensure the characters she portrays and the stories she’s a part of do not clash with her personal values.
“first ever telecom project and I am learning – I have learnt to be cautious and more conscious with my creative choices.”

Since Rehmat had a supporting role in ‘Meray Pass Tum Ho‘ she did not get a chance to see how the whole thing would come together. Additionally, she was not aware of the entire storyline nor Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s ideology when she accepted the role.
She also requested the audience to,
“extend new, struggling artists some leeway as we are in the process of learning …. trying to make their mark on merit.”
