The statement read as per FreePressJournal, ¡°Attention please! There's a misunderstanding going around about Hania's new account. Some people think she's trying to reach out to India for work or securing fans there, but that's not true. Her old private account with us was deleted by Instagram, and she just made a new one with the same name. Unfortunately, it wasn't set to private yet, which led to the confusion. Let's clarify that Hania's actions have nothing to do with seeking work opportunities or following in India. We know her heart!¡±
