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.
