Fact Check: Did Hania Aamir Create New Instagram Account for Indian Fans?

Pakistani actress Hania Aamir is once again making headlines—this time for creating a new Instagram account that appears to be aimed at her Indian followers, amid rising political tension between India and Pakistan.

Hania, who enjoys a massive fan following across the border, had her main Instagram account restricted in India following the recent Pahalgam terror attack. In the wake of that restriction, fans were quick to notice a new handle, naaamtousunahogaa, which was visible to Indian users. A post from the account raised eyebrows with a caption that read: “Ye mere andar downfall me bhi mauj masti karne ki himmat aa kaha se rahi hai,” suggesting resilience in difficult times.

As the account started gaining attention, some social media users in Pakistan criticized Hania, accusing her of trying to appeal to Indian audiences and allegedly seeking work opportunities in Bollywood. The backlash was swift, with many calling her out for not standing with her country during a sensitive time.

In response to the online uproar, Hania’s team issued a clarification. “There’s a misunderstanding going around. Hania is not trying to build a fanbase in India or land work there,” the statement said. They explained that her previous private Instagram account had been deleted by the platform, and the newly created one was made with the same username. It was unintentionally left public, which led to the confusion. “Her intentions have nothing to do with seeking opportunities or followers in India. Let’s not misjudge,” the statement added.

Amid this drama, reports emerged suggesting that Hania may have been dropped from the upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3, in which she was rumored to star alongside Diljit Dosanjh. While filming had reportedly wrapped up in the UK, sources now claim that her scenes might be reshot with a different actress. However, there’s been no official word from the filmmakers.

Interestingly, Hania had earlier expressed sorrow over the Pahalgam attack. In an Instagram story, she wrote, “Tragedy anywhere is a tragedy for all of us. My heart is with the innocent lives affected by the recent events.” She followed it with a message of unity: “When innocent lives are lost, the pain is not theirs alone—it belongs to all of us. May we choose humanity, always.”

As the debate rages on, fans are split—some support her for her empathy and cross-border appeal, while others feel she should tread more carefully given the current political climate.

Mehar Bano Breaks Silence on Harassment in Showbiz

Pakistani actress and dancer Mehar Bano has boldly exposed the harassment that exists behind the glamour of the entertainment industry.

While appearing on a private TV show hosted by Tabish Hashmi, the Taxali Gate star responded to a question from a young audience member by confirming that, like many other fields, showbiz also has a dark side. She revealed that powerful individuals often pressure artists—both men and women—with inappropriate demands in exchange for work opportunities.

Known for her outspoken nature and strong social media presence, Mehar Bano explained that artists’ charm and appearance make them easy targets for harassment. She emphasized the need to confront this issue directly, stating, “Often, both boys and girls face harassment,” and called for open conversations about exploitation in the industry.

Mehar Bano began her career while studying at the National College of Arts.

Mishi Khan Slams ‘Ugly’ Labubu Doll Trend, Warns of Evil Energies

In a time when quirky collectibles like the Labubu doll are sweeping through the digital world and dominating Gen Z and Gen Alpha’s wish lists, Pakistani actress and host Mishi Khan has stepped into the conversation and she isn’t holding back.

The Labubu doll, a strange-looking toy with spiky teeth, odd proportions, and an undeniably mischievous expression, has become the latest craze among social media users and influencers. Originally created by Pop Mart, the toy was once a luxury collectible with prices reaching PKR 7,000 to 35,000, depending on rarity and edition. But the wave of popularity has now led to a flood of counterfeit Labubus across local markets and online platforms in Pakistan — making them even more visible, especially on bags and accessories.

But not everyone is charmed by this peculiar figure.

Mishi Khan, known for her bold and unfiltered opinions, recently posted a video warning fans against the Labubu craze. “This Labubu trend, which people consider a status symbol, is a curse,” she asserted, adding that people are blindly buying into a fad that might be masking deeper, darker energies. “Have you even looked at it closely? Horrible teeth, spooky eyes — this doll is not cute, it’s creepy,” she added with emphasis.

She went on to claim that such toys could attract negative energy or even evil spirits, urging parents and collectors alike to think twice before jumping on the bandwagon. “Even if someone gave it to me for free, I wouldn’t hang this ugly thing on my bag,” she said bluntly. “Don’t waste your money on these Dajjali-looking dolls.”

Interestingly, Mishi’s strong stance seems to have struck a chord with many netizens. One user commented, “It’s a Satanic doll, I agree with Mishi.” Another chimed in, “Didn’t even know what a Labubu was — but now I’ve seen it, and it’s horrifying.”

While celebrities like Hania Aamir, Maya Ali, Juggun Kazim, and even Aiman Khan’s daughter have been seen proudly flaunting their Labubu dolls, Mishi Khan’s remarks have sparked a growing counter-conversation — one rooted in cultural sensitivity and spiritual caution.

Whether you love it or loathe it, the Labubu doll is no longer just a toy — it’s become a flashpoint for a wider debate about trends, identity, and what we welcome into our lives in the name of style.

Sarwat Gilani Calls Out Nadia Khan for Harsh Criticism

Actress Sarwat Gilani took a firm stand against fellow artist Nadia Khan, calling out her recent wave of criticism against Pakistani actors who remained silent during the India-Pakistan political tensions. Sarwat’s response wasn’t just a defence of individuals—it was a plea for empathy, professionalism, and mutual respect within the entertainment fraternity.

Nadia Khan had publicly lashed out at several celebrities, accusing them of valuing their international image, YouTube numbers, and social media followings over patriotism. However, Sarwat saw Nadia’s statements as unnecessarily harsh and deeply unfair, particularly when aimed at celebrated figures like Fawad Khan.

Sarwat Gilani firmly stated, “Please forgive him. Fawad Khan was already committed to a project abroad—he was simply fulfilling his professional responsibilities. What actors do in their careers should not be up for public moral trials.”

She didn’t stop there. Sarwat directly addressed Nadia, with a composed but piercing reminder: “Nadia Khan, you also had your moments, your choices, your controversies. None of us have forgotten. But we never shouted at you or disrespected you publicly. So please don’t treat your peers as if they owe you an explanation or as if they’re your house staff.”

Highlighting the importance of dignity in public discourse, Sarwat added, “Senior artists have the power to uplift the industry with their words. Tearing others down helps no one. Critique is fine, but it must come with respect and wisdom.”
