Pakistani actor Hania Aamir has faced criticism on social media after sharing a dance video on Instagram while the country continues to mourn several recent tragedies.
Hania, who has more than 20 million Instagram followers, posted a video showing herself dancing and enjoying coffee while travelling in an open-roof car in Karachi.
In the video, the actor can be seen wearing a Pakistani cricket team tank top with black trousers. She completed her look with short hair and minimal makeup while dancing to Taha G’s song Ghalti Se.
She captioned the post, “God Bless the coolest girls on the Karachi roads.”
Hania Aamir criticised by social media users
The video quickly attracted mixed reactions online, with several users questioning the timing of the post.
Some commenters criticised Hania for sharing celebratory and lighthearted content while the country is dealing with recent incidents that have caused widespread grief and anger.
Several users specifically referred to the deaths of newborns in the recent fire at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad.
One commenter questioned how a celebrity could share such content following the deaths of 14 newborns in the hospital fire.
Other users urged Hania to use her large social media following to raise awareness about tragedies and violence involving children.
Debate over celebrities and social responsibility
Some social media users argued that celebrities with millions of followers have a responsibility to speak about major social issues and national tragedies.
One commenter pointed out Hania’s status as one of Pakistan’s most-followed celebrities and encouraged her to use her platform to speak against issues affecting people across the country.
The criticism has once again sparked debate over whether public figures should adjust their social media activity during periods of national mourning.
While some users expect celebrities to acknowledge major tragedies, others believe public figures can continue sharing personal and entertainment-related content without being required to comment on every national incident.
Hania remains one of Pakistan’s most-followed stars
Hania Aamir is among Pakistan’s most prominent actors and social media personalities. She regularly shares fashion content, behind-the-scenes moments, travel updates and lighthearted videos with her followers.
She has appeared in several successful television dramas, including Dil Ruba, Sang-e-Mah, Ishqiya, Mere Humsafar, Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha and Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.
The actor is also working on her upcoming project Fanaa.
The latest controversy highlights the continuing scrutiny faced by celebrities on social media, particularly those with large audiences. It also reflects the ongoing discussion about the expectations placed on public figures during times of national grief.
