Days after the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir that left 26 dead and several injured, several Pakistani artistes' Instagram accounts have been banned in India. The move comes amid escalated tension between India and Pakistan. Popular Pakistani actress Hania Aamir’s account too is now inaccessible in India.

Amid the new move from the Indian authorities, a statement went viral which was "falsely" attributed to her.

The viral post claimed that Hania Aamir has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reconsider the decision of restricting their Instagram accounts. However, the actress has now reportedly shared a long post on her Instagram Stories, clarifying that the post is "fake" and she hasn't made any such comment.

What Hania Aamir said

Hania Aamir began the note with these words, "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".

Hania added, "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".

"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 concluded.
