Pakistani actress Hania Aamir has taken to social media to tackle a wave of impersonation and misinformation targeting her online presence. In a recent Instagram Story, the Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum star warned fans about fake accounts posing as her, emphasizing that her verified handle, @haniaheheofficial, is her only legitimate Instagram account.
“Please be cautious and report any accounts claiming to be me,” Hania urged her followers. “My official account is the only one I use on Instagram, and I’m not connected to any others.”
The clarification comes amid scrutiny from netizens who questioned Hania’s association with a now-deactivated account, @naaamtousunahogaa, which had frequently posted content centered on the actress. Some fans speculated about her involvement with the account, noting that she had briefly followed it before its deactivation. “If it wasn’t her, why was she linked to it?” one user commented online.
Hania’s announcement also sparked criticism from some quarters, with detractors arguing that her focus on personal account security was misplaced given ongoing regional tensions. “With everything happening in the country, this is what she’s posting about?” one critic remarked. Another added, “There are bigger issues at stake right now.”
The actress has also been caught in the crosshairs of a broader misinformation campaign. Earlier this week, Hania publicly debunked a fabricated social media post that falsely attributed inflammatory remarks to her regarding a recent attack in Pahalgam. The viral post, designed to mimic an Instagram Story from her account, wrongly suggested that Hania had accused Pakistan’s military leadership of orchestrating the violence while pleading with Indian authorities to spare Pakistani civilians.
In a strongly worded statement on her verified Instagram, Hania condemned the fake post, calling it a deliberate attempt to misrepresent her stance. “This statement is completely false and does not reflect my views in any way,” she wrote. “I urge everyone to verify information before sharing and to stop spreading falsehoods that create division.”
Hania also joined other Pakistani celebrities in condemning the Pahalgam attack, expressing grief for the lives lost while cautioning against hasty generalizations. “Blaming an entire nation for the actions of a few is unfair and dangerous,” she noted. “We need unity and clarity, not rumors and division.”
As Hania continues to navigate these challenges, her efforts to protect her online identity and counter misinformation highlight the growing issue of digital impersonation faced by public figures. Fans have rallied behind the actress, praising her for addressing the controversies head-on while urging others to report suspicious accounts.
