Hijab Khalil, daughter of renowned Pakistani playwright Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, has responded to the criticism and trolling she faced following controversies involving her father, including remarks he made about actress Saba Qamar and the widely discussed kidnapping scandal.
Speaking on a recent podcast, Hijab shared that she became the target of online attacks despite having no involvement in the incidents that sparked public debate. She revealed that the criticism intensified after her father’s kidnapping case and even extended to comments about his health and personal life.
According to Hijab, the backlash had started even before the kidnapping controversy. She explained that after her father publicly commented on an actress’s clothing, social media users began targeting her because of her own fashion choices. Hijab said that she often wears modern, Gen Z-inspired outfits, but rejected claims that her clothing is inappropriate or offensive.
Although she chose not to respond publicly to many of the negative remarks, Hijab emphasized that the criticism still affected her emotionally. She noted that remaining silent should not be interpreted as being unaffected, adding that she is a human being and naturally feels the impact of harsh comments and online judgment.
Hijab also criticized content creators and podcast hosts who discuss her father’s controversies while directing criticism toward her. She described such behavior as unfair and inhumane, arguing that she should not be held responsible for the actions or opinions of another person.
Concluding her remarks, she said that anyone who has concerns regarding her father’s statements or controversies should address those issues directly with him rather than targeting family members. She added that many people avoid confronting him because he is known for giving straightforward and uncompromising responses.
