The ‘Punjab Nahi Jaungi’ writer said he has never promoted obscenity in his films and if an actress wears revealing clothes in a movie he has written, the director has to convince him very hard for it.
He further said he is strongly against co-education, suggesting that there should be separate educational institutions for girls and boys.
In response to another question, Qamar, who catapulted to new heights of fame with his super hit drama serial ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’, said if a boy is not getting married at the right age, it means he has a lot of female friends.
He added that this was damaging for girls, who should maintain their distance from such boys.
