Veteran actor Ghulam Mohiuddin and comedian Ahmed Ali Butt have likened Hania Aamir to legendary star Babra Sharif, noting similarities in their body language and sharp features.
The comparison came during an interview where they also discussed Punjab's new Film City project, the industry's decline, and the potential remake of Mohiuddin's classic film 'Mera Naam Hai Mohabbat'.
Released in 1975, 'Mera Naam Hai Mohabbat' introduced Ghulam Mohiuddin and Babra Sharif to the Pakistani silver screen and propelled both actors to stardom following the film's commercial success.
Babra Sharif went on to become one of Pakistan's one of the most celebrated actresses during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. She began her career in television commercials in 1973 before making her film debut in 'Mera Naam Hai Mohabbat', where she portrayed a terminally ill young woman.
The romantic drama revolved around a young woman concealing her illness from her lover while her family also remained unaware of her condition. The film, remembered for its tragic ending and emotional storyline, won the Nigar Award for Best Film in 1975.
During the interview, Butt asked Mohiuddin whether he would consider remaking 'Mera Naam Hai Mohabbat'. Mohiuddin replied that he would be willing to revisit the project if he could find someone similar to Babra Sharif. Butt then suggested Hania Aamir, calling her the Gen Z version of Babra Sharif in terms of looks and personality, a comparison Mohiuddin agreed with.
The remarks quickly generated discussion on social media, where Hania Aamir enjoys a strong following. The actor, known for her work in Urdu and Punjabi television and cinema, began her career with the 2016 comedy film 'Janaan'. She made her television debut a year later with the romantic drama 'Titli', earning widespread recognition before starring in projects such as 'Anaa', 'Na Maloom Afraad 2' and the war film 'Parwaaz Hai Junoon'.
