Hania Aamir denies fake statement on Pahalgam attack

Pakistani actor Hania Aamir has publicly rejected a fabricated statement circulating on social media that falsely attributed controversial remarks to her in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack in India.

The viral post falsely claimed Aamir criticised Pakistan’s military and urged the Indian prime minister to differentiate between civilians and “Islamist terrorists.” In an Instagram story, Aamir clarified that she had never made such a statement, calling it “entirely fabricated” and unreflective of her views. She expressed condolences for the lives lost in the attack and urged restraint, stating, “Pain like this is real, and it deserves empathy, not politicisation.” Aamir also cautioned against disinformation and blame-based narratives that deepen divisions.

Her Instagram account is among several Pakistani celebrity accounts reportedly blocked in India following the April 22 attack, part of a wider clampdown that included bans on 16 Pakistani YouTube channels.
