Pakistani Actors Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan React To India’s Sindoor Operation, Call It Coward

Pakistani stars Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, and Fawad Khan have been reported to have voiced strong criticism against India's operation Sindoor!

The relations between India and Pakistan were already tense and have become even more strained after India’s defiant retaliatory attack code-named Operation Sindoor on May 7. The move was taken in direct retaliation for the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in which 26 Indian soldiers were said to have been killed by Pakistan-based militants. While Indian officials described the operation as a justified act of self-defence, responses across the border have evoked a new controversy.

Notable Pakistani stars Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, and Fawad Khan have been widely reported to have voiced strong criticism of the Indian military operation. Although their access to their social media accounts has been blocked in India under a new ban on Pakistani public figures, screenshots of their alleged Instagram stories and posts have circulated online, prompting heated debate on either side.

What Did Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan Say About Operation Sindoor?

As per the screenshots making rounds on the internet, actress Mahira Khan wrote a long note in which she reportedly criticised the Indian attack, calling it cowardly and shameful. She thanked her nation, mentioning Pakistan’s provision of free speech, and questioned the morality of a midnight military attack being celebrated as a strategic victory. In one of the images widely shared on the internet, Mahira is said to have written, “Seriously, cowardly!!! May Allah guard our nation, may sense prevail. Ameen.”

Actress Hania Aamir, included too in the list of artists whose online existence was restricted in India, purportedly reflected on the same thing. Her stated comments characterised the operation as cruel and heartless as signs of her emotional outburst about news of civilian loss. She had purportedly identified the military operations as being shameful and cowardly, garnering a range of sympathy and disparagement across various online communities.

Actor Fawad Khan, who was originally scheduled to star in an Indo-Pak co-production called Abir Gulaal, which has since been cancelled, also reportedly had something to say. Screenshots that are claimed to be his imply that he condemned the operation as a “tragic and reckless display of power.” He is said to have offered condolences to those who died in the mission.

Even though these statements have been widely circulated on social media, the genuineness of the screenshots cannot be confirmed because of the online content ban on Pakistani celebrities in India.
