Hania Aamir receives ‘water package’ from Indian fans amid suspension of Indus Water Treaty
Pakistani actress Hania Aamir enjoys widespread popularity, even across the border in India. However, her fandom recently sparked controversy after a group of Indian fans sent her a box filled with water bottles—intended as a meme gesture—amid rising tensions between the two nations.
Following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, India announced a strict five-point response plan, which included the suspension of the 1960 Indus Water Treaty. In response, a video surfaced on social media showing Hania’s Indian fans packing a carton labelled, “To Hania Aamir, Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. From, India,” and filling it with bottled water.
Although the video was meant for humour, it did not sit well with many on social media. Several netizens criricised the act, calling it insensitive and inappropriate given the gravity of the situation.
Hania was among the first Pakistani celebrities to publicly react to the Pahalgam terror attack. In an Instagram story, she wrote, “Tragedy anywhere is a tragedy for all of us. My heart is with the innocent lives affected by the recent events. In pain, in grief, and in hope—we are one.”
She added, “When innocent lives are lost, the pain is not theirs alone—it belongs to all of us. No matter where we come from, grief speaks the same language. May we choose humanity, always.”
Meanwhile. Hania’s professional commitments have reportedly been affected by the incident. Rumours suggest she may be dropped from the upcoming film “Sardar Ji 3”, which she was reportedly co-starring in alongside Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh. While the film’s UK shooting schedule wrapped up last month, sources claim the production team is now considering reshooting her scenes with another actress. As of now, there has been no official statement from the filmmakers.
