Pakistani Actress Hania Aamir: After the terrorist attack in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian government has taken strict action against Pakistan-linked social media accounts and shows.

Pakistani actors and their dramas have enjoyed a large and dedicated fan following in India, with their shows receiving considerable viewership. Among these stars is Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, who had a significant following in India.
Hania Aamir's Instagram Banned in India, But Fans Remain Undeterred
Hania Aamir, a popular Pakistani actress, boasts a fan base in India that rivals many Bollywood stars. Her serials, 'Mere Humsafar', 'Kabhi Mai Kabhi Tum', 'Ishqiya', and 'Dilruba', were immensely popular in India. However, the recent ban on her Instagram account in India left her fans disappointed.
Undeterred, fans have found a workaround using technology. Employing VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), they have regained access to Hania Aamir's Instagram posts. One fan even commented, "Don't worry, we're here using VPNs." Hania Aamir responded, "I'm going to cry," showcasing her emotional reaction and winning over her fans' hearts once again.
Diljit's Film Also Banned, Bollywood Debut Halted
Hania Aamir is not only known for her Pakistani serials but was also preparing for her acting debut in India. She had signed a film with Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh, generating considerable excitement among fans. However, the recent Indian government policy has put this film on hold, effectively halting Hania's acting career in India before it even began.
Friendship with Badshah, Rumors Grab Headlines
Hania Aamir's friendship with Indian rapper Badshah has also been widely discussed. The two have been seen together in several videos, enjoying each other's company. Their chemistry in Instagram Reels, music events, and concerts was well-received by fans. This friendship sparked dating rumors, although both later clarified that they were just good friends.
During a live concert by Diljit Dosanjh, Hania Aamir was even invited on stage and introduced to the audience by Diljit himself. This moment also went viral on social media.
Many Big Names on the Instagram Ban List
Hania Aamir is not the only one whose Instagram account has been banned in India. Several other prominent Pakistani artists, including Mawra Hocane, Mahira Khan, Sajal Ali, Fawad Khan, Ali Zafar, and Atif Aslam, are now digitally "invisible" in India. These bans have significantly impacted the consumption of Pakistani content in India, particularly on OTT platforms and social media, where Pakistani dramas had a large viewership.
Fans' Love Remains Unwavering
While political decisions are separate, fans' affection remains unaffected by the ban. Using tools like VPNs, fans are trying their best to stay connected with their favorite artists. The emotional response from stars like Hania Aamir clearly indicates their sadness at the distance. This entire situation reiterates that borders cannot restrain hearts, and where there's a will, there's a way.
