‘I didn't say this’: Hania Aamir denies 'fake statement' on Pahalgam attack

Renowned Pakistani actor Hania Aamir has strongly denied a fake statement being circulated on social media in her name regarding the April 22 Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir.

The viral post falsely implies that Hania blamed Pakistan’s military for the attack and made a direct plea to the Indian prime minister, asking him to distinguish between civilians and “Islamist terrorists”.

Responding to the controversy, Hania took to Instagram and clarified the situation in a detailed story.

"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," she wrote.

She also expressed sympathy for the victims of the attack, saying: "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."

Urging people not to blame entire communities for the actions of a few, she added: "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."

Hania ended her statement with a call for kindness and fact-checking: "Let us honour those impacted by choosing empathy, truth, and togetherness. I remain committed to spreading positivity and respect in all that I do."

The fake statement also accused India of banning the entire Pakistani entertainment industry and pleaded with the Indian prime minister to stop taking action against innocent citizens.

Hania’s Instagram account is among several Pakistani celebrities’ accounts recently blocked in India after the 22 April Pahalgam attack. India, without any solid evidence, has been blaming Pakistan for the attack, whereas Pakistan has officially dismissed the claim.
