Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, widely admired across India for her performances and charming persona, found herself caught in a wave of misinformation after her Instagram account was blocked in India on April 30.
Alongside celebrities like Mahira Khan, Sajal Aly, and Ali Zafar, her profile became inaccessible to Indian users following the Pahalgam attack.
As the news broke, a screenshot claiming to show a message from Hania Aamir addressing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi went viral. The alleged post showed Hania blaming Pakistan for the attack, urging India not to penalize innocent citizens or the entertainment community.
However, this message is completely false. The image circulating on social media was digitally manipulated. Observant users quickly pointed out inconsistencies, most notably, that the display picture in the screenshot did not match Hania Aamir’s verified Instagram profile. Many netizens flagged the image as fake and cautioned others against spreading false information.
What Hania actually said
On April 22, shortly after the tragic events in Pahalgam, Hania shared an Instagram story expressing sorrow over the loss of innocent lives. Her message read:
“Tragedy anywhere is a tragedy for all of us. In pain, in grief, and in hope—we are one. May we choose humanity, always.”
She later deleted the post, possibly due to the increasing online pressure and political sensitivity of the situation.
This fact check highlights the importance of verifying information before sharing it — especially in times of political tension.
