Indian Punjabi actress Neeru Bajwa has unfollowed Pakistani star Hania Aamir, stirring widespread assumptions among fans and followers across borders.

 

Hania Amir and Neeru Bajwa will share the screen in the upcoming film Sardar Ji 3, set to release today.

 

The unanticipated digital distancing has led to several speculations online.

 

Many social media users suspect that Neeru may have received threats, and could possibly have been pressurised by Hindu extremist groups over Hania's involvement in the film.

 

As a result Neeru Bajwa chose to distance herself publicly from the film’s promotion as she also deleted all posts about the film from her Instagram account, just one day before the release.

 

 Sardar Ji 3 was filmed before the recent military stand-off between Pakistan and India. 

 

Following the conflict, several groups in India demanded either Hania Amir be removed from the film or the movie be completely banned. 

 

The producers, keeping potential loss in mind, have decided to release the movie globally, except for India, on June 27.
