Hania Aamir Clears Air On Viral Statement After Instagram Account Restriction: 'Entirely fabricated And Misrepresents Who I Am'

A quote attributed to Hania Aamir began circulating widely online — claiming she had appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reverse the restrictions. The actress has now set the record straight.

Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan following the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, several Pakistani celebrities' Instagram accounts have been restricted in India. Among them is popular actress Hania Aamir, whose profile can no longer be viewed by users in the country. In the midst of this digital blockade, a quote attributed to her began circulating widely online — claiming she had appealed to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reverse the restrictions. The actress has now set the record straight.

Hania Aamir distances herself from viral statement

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Hania issued a detailed clarification, distancing herself from the viral statement and condemning the spread of misinformation.

“Recently, a statement has been falsely attributed to me and is being widely circulated on social media. I want to address this directly: 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 wrote.

In the same post, she expressed her sorrow over the tragic loss of lives in the Pahalgam attack, emphasising the need for empathy over division.

“That being said, this is a deeply sensitive and emotional time. My heart goes out to the innocent lives lost and the families affected by the recent tragedy. Pain like this is real, and it deserves empathy—not politicisation. In times like these, it's easy to let emotions cloud our judgment, but we must remember: the actions of extremists do not represent an entire nation or its people. Assigning blame without proof only deepens divides and distracts from the real need for compassion, justice, and healing,” she added.

Hania concluded her message by appealing to her fans for mindfulness and compassion in how information is shared.

“To my beloved supporters, your love means everything to me. I kindly ask everyone to check the truth before sharing and to approach these difficult times with kindness and clarity. Let us honor those impacted by choosing empathy, truth, and togetherness. I remain committed to spreading positivity and respect in all that I do. With sincere condolences and hope for peace,” she signed off.

Although her Instagram is currently inaccessible in India, screenshots of her message have been widely shared by fans on X (formerly Twitter), garnering support for her dignified response.

Pakistani celebs' Instagram accounts restricted in India

Besides Hania Aamir, several other Pakistani personalities — including Ali Zafar, Sanam Saeed, Bilal Abbas, Momina Mustehsan, Iqra Aziz, Imran Abbas, and Sajal Aly — have also been impacted by the restrictions on Instagram.

Meanwhile, actor Fawad Khan's much-anticipated Bollywood return with 'Abir Gulaal' has now been clouded with uncertainty, as the film’s Indian release has been delayed amid the current political climate.
