Pakistani Celebrities Clap Back with Humor as India Bans Their Social Media Accounts

Pakistani celebrities have responded with unbothered humor and meme-loaded reactions to the recent ban on their social media accounts in India, brushing off the restriction with sarcasm, wit, and laughs. Amid growing diplomatic tensions between the two nations—particularly after the tragic Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives—India has restricted several Pakistani showbiz personalities’ social media visibility and barred any collaboration with them within its borders.

Rather than responding with outrage, stars from Pakistan’s entertainment industry showcased their classic sense of humor, taking to Instagram with witty jabs and light-hearted posts. Actress Mansha Pasha was among the first to react, sharing a screenshot confirming her Instagram account had been blocked in India. She cheekily wrote, “Well, that took like a millisecond. Oh, well!”—a clear sign she wasn’t losing any sleep over the decision.

Joining the wave of satire, actress Ushna Shah also shared the restriction notice on her story, hinting with a smirk that perhaps her endless scroll of Indo-Pak memes was to blame. Actor Arslan Naseer didn’t hold back either. Tagging Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi directly, he joked, “Modi bro, you banned me in India? What’s next? Will you complain to my Ammi?”

Zhalay Sarhadi added a more sarcastic punch, questioning the logic behind the ban with, “By banning, what are you trying to prove!? Are you scared or something? One shouldn’t express their vulnerability so openly. It’s quite a desperate move. Also, have you heard of VPN? It’s a useful app!” Her post sparked laughs and support from her followers, many of whom echoed the sentiment.

Yasir Hussain, known for his sharp takes, wrapped it all up with a dose of digital wisdom: “The way Pakistanis responded to India’s anger with memes, they should also respond to the bans with complete indifference. You don’t argue with embarrassed cats. You ignore them.” His message called for dignified silence rather than reactionary anger, adding another layer of humor to the unfolding scenario.

With memes flying and jokes hitting their mark, Pakistani stars made it abundantly clear: bans might block their profiles, but certainly not their punchlines.

Dr. Shaista Lodhi Shares Must-Know Heatwave Survival Tips for Summer 2025

Pakistani television personality and medical professional, Dr. Shaista Lodhi, has once again used her platform for public benefit—this time by offering crucial health advice during the ongoing heatwave. Known for her vibrant presence on both television and digital platforms, Shaista took to Instagram to share some timely reminders aimed at keeping her followers sun-safe and hydrated in the peak summer months.

Avoid the Midday Sun and Stay Hydrated
In her Instagram story, Shaista advised avoiding direct sun exposure between 11 am and 3 pm, when temperatures tend to peak and can harm both the skin and internal health. She stressed that hydration isn’t just a trend—it’s survival, urging people to drink water even before they feel thirsty. Furthermore, she emphasized that plain water may not be enough in extreme heat. Instead, she recommended electrolyte-rich fluids such as ORS or coconut water to replenish essential salts and minerals.

Care for the Vulnerable and Learn from the Expert
Shaista also reminded her audience to pay extra attention to children and the elderly, as they are especially vulnerable in high temperatures; through her YouTube and Instagram platforms, she continues to offer in-depth vlogs covering wellness, skincare, and health-related trends. She frequently discusses vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and educates her audience on modern aesthetic treatments like fillers, botox, and laser hair removal, ensuring her followers are well-informed about both health and beauty.

Popular TV host and actor Fahad Mustafa has commended the Pakistan Army for its firm and dignified response to recent Indian aggression, expressing sincere support during a live episode of Jeeto Pakistan. Amid growing tensions following India’s unsubstantiated claims linking Pakistan to the Pahalgam attack, Fahad opened his show by saluting the bravery and professionalism of the armed forces.

He specifically praised the Pakistan Air Force for launching Operation Bunyan Al Marsoos, which effectively countered India’s provocation and led to a US-backed ceasefire. Fahad Mustafa’s tribute instantly went viral, resonating with viewers who applauded his bold and patriotic stance.

During his live tribute, Mustafa didn’t hold back, calling India’s actions reckless and reminding viewers that “unlike in films, real-world consequences follow real-world provocations.” His statement was a clear message that Pakistan’s peace-loving nature should not be mistaken for weakness.

Despite having a strong fanbase in India—especially after his role in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum—Mustafa prioritized national dignity over popularity. His emotional tribute and unwavering stance sparked widespread support from Pakistanis around the world.

A Message of Unity and Peace

Fahad also used the platform to highlight Pakistan’s diversity and harmony. He emphasized that people of all faiths and ethnicities live in peace in Pakistan, enjoying dignity and mutual respect. Moreover, he applauded the Pakistani media for its balanced coverage during the crisis and drew attention to the country’s tolerant and composed public response in contrast to the often hostile rhetoric seen across the border.

Indo-Pak Tensions: Mawra Hocane, Mahira Khan Erased from Indian Film Album Cover

In a fresh wave of cross-border fallout, the images of Pakistani actresses Mawra Hocane and Mahira Khan have been removed from the album covers of their Bollywood films Sanam Teri Kasam and Raees, respectively.

Taking to Instagram, Rane stated he would not be part of the sequel “if there’s any chance of the previous cast returning,” implying disapproval of Mawra Hocane’s political stance. His statement included a pointed message against Mawra’s criticism of India’s Operation Sindoor, calling her remarks “unpardonable.”

Mawra Hocane Fires Back, Calls It Publicity Gimmick

Not one to stay silent, Mawra Hocane swiftly responded to Rane’s post, calling it a “PR strategy” rooted in desperation. She condemned the timing of his announcement, criticizing the exploitation of a sensitive geopolitical situation for personal attention. In a strongly-worded statement, Hocane said, “You just DO NOT use war for your personal benefit… it’s a grave situation.”
