Pakistani actress Hania Aamir has publicly denied a fake viral post falsely attributed to her in the wake of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The fabricated Instagram story claimed she blamed the Pakistan Army and appealed to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to retaliate against Pakistani civilians — a statement she firmly disavowed.
🔍 What Happened:
- A manipulated screenshot appeared online, falsely showing Hania accusing General Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, of orchestrating the attack.
- It also urged the Indian government to differentiate between Pakistan’s military and its citizens.
📢 Hania Aamir’s Response:
Posting on her verified Instagram, she said:
“I did not make this statement, and I do not endorse or align with the words being linked to me. It is entirely fabricated and misrepresents who I am and what I believe.”
She further emphasized:
- Sympathy for the victims of the Pahalgam tragedy.
- A call for empathy, not politicisation, during such sensitive times.
- A plea to avoid generalizations, noting that blaming entire nations for the actions of a few deepens divisions.
🌐 Regional Context:
Her clarification comes amid heightened cross-border tension and at a time when Instagram has restricted access to several Pakistani celebrities’ accounts in India, including hers. The message shown to Indian users reads:
“Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.”
🕊️ Final Note from Hania:
“I remain committed to spreading positivity and respect in all that I do.”
This incident underscores the growing challenges around disinformation and online impersonation, especially in politically sensitive times.
