Pakistani actress Hania Aamir has spoken out after a viral fake statement began circulating on social media, linking her to controversial remarks about the recent Pahalgam terror attack. The comment, which falsely suggested that she blamed the Pakistan Army and Islamic terrorists for the incident, has caused confusion and backlash online. Now, Hania Aamir has set the record straight.
In a statement shared on her social media before her Instagram account was blocked in India, Hania clarified that the circulating quote was completely fabricated. She stated that she had not made the remark, nor did it reflect her beliefs or opinions. According to her, the statement being attributed to her is false and deeply misrepresents who she is.
She expressed sadness over the loss of innocent lives in the recent tragedy, adding that this is a time that demands empathy ¡ª not division. Hania emphasised that the actions of extremists do not represent an entire country or its people, and urged people to avoid assigning blame without verified facts.
¡°This is a painful time,¡± she noted, through her statement, ¡°and we must respond with clarity, not chaos. Misinformation only adds to the hurt and confusion.¡±
Hania also had a message for her fans, asking them to be mindful and not engage with or share unverified content. She stressed the importance of verifying facts before forming opinions or spreading information.
This comes amid a broader digital crackdown, as multiple Pakistani celebrities¡¯ accounts ¡ª including those of Mahira Khan and Hania Aamir ¡ª are now inaccessible in India. However, the accounts of others such as Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, Ali Sethi, and Shae Gill remain visible.
The fake quote, which included the line, ¡°The Pakistani army and Islamic terrorists are behind the terrorist attack that took place in Pahalgam. Then why are you punishing us?¡± had gained traction quickly, but has now been debunked by the actress herself.
In an increasingly polarised digital space, Hania¡¯s calm and thoughtful clarification serves as a reminder to prioritise truth, empathy, and responsible sharing, especially during such sensitive moments.
