Instagram accounts of Pakistani actors Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan & others blocked in India
Several Pakistani actors, including Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, and Ali Zafar, have had their Instagram accounts blocked in India following the recent terror attack in Kashmir, which the Indian government has attributed to Islamabad.
This action comes shortly after the government’s decision to ban 16 Pakistani YouTube channels accused of disseminating provocative and communally sensitive content.
Hania Aamir, a popular figure among Indian audiences for her roles in Pakistani dramas ‘Mere Humsafar’ and ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’, responded to the Pahalgam attack with a message of unity and compassion. She stated, “My heart is with the innocent lives affected by the recent events. In pain, in grief, and in hope—we are one. When innocent lives are lost, the pain is not theirs alone—it belongs to all of us. No matter where we come from, grief speaks the same language. May we choose humanity, always.”
