Hania Aamir warns of users impersonating her

Actor requests followers to report unverified accounts

In an Instagram Story shared on Wednesday, Hania Aamir clarified that her public account (@haniaheheofficial) is her one and only Instagram handle, requesting her followers not to interact with any other accounts claiming to be her.

"This is the only account I have on Instagram. In case anyone is getting any requests from other accounts posing as me, please report them. Thank you," she wrote.

Criticising the move, netizens were quick to question Hania for following a now-deactivated account, @naaamtousunahogaa. They also linked the Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum star to the account due to its posts, which prominently featured her. "Then why did she follow the account and deactivated it?" a user wondered.

Hania also drew backlash for posting the personal update while the country wards off war. "There are more important things in the world, Miss Hania," a user wrote, while another said, "Seriously, even now she's thinking about her account?"

Earlier, the Janaan actor publicly refuted a viral social media post falsely attributed to her in the wake of the attack in Pahalgam. The fake post, which circulated widely across Instagram and X, claimed Hania blamed the Pakistan Army for the attack and appealed to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to spare Pakistani civilians in the aftermath.

The alleged post, styled to look like an Instagram Story from the actor's account, accused Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, of orchestrating the violence. It also urged the Indian government to differentiate between military decisions and the sentiments of the Pakistani public. But Hania firmly denounced the quote, calling it entirely fabricated and misrepresentative of her views.

"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," she clarified in a statement shared on her verified Instagram account. "It is entirely fabricated and misrepresents who I am and what I believe."

Hania was also among the Pakistani celebrities who condemned the attack, mourning the lives lost though not without defending her country against unverified claims.

"In times like these, it's easy to let emotions cloud our judgment," she wrote, "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."
