After the deadly and horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, India has put a ban on Pakistani artists. Amid this decision, the Instagram handles of Pakistani actors Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan and Ali Zafar have gone unavailable in India, sparking buzz on social media. This has left many disappointed over the sudden disappearance of the actors' accounts as they hold a solid fanbase in the country.
Pakistani Actors’ Instagram Handles Go Unavailable in India
When Indian users try to access Hania Aamir, Ali Zafar, and Mahira Khan's Instagram handles they see a message stating: “Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.” The actors also include Sanam Saeed, Bilal Abbas, Iqra Aziz, Imran Abbas and Sajal Aly.
Notably, the Instagram accounts of Pakistani actors like Fawad Khan and Wahaj Ali are still visible in India.
Not only Pakistani artists but India has banned 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for allegedly spreading provocative and communally sensitive content on their platform.
Following the recent terror attack, both Hania Aamir and Mahira Khan shared posts on their social media handles to offer condolences to the victims and their families.
After the incident, Fawad Khan, who is set to make his Bollywood comeback with the film Abir Gulaal release has been banned in India. The latest reports also suggest that Pakistan has put a ban due to the tension with the neighbouring country. The movie also stars Vaani Kapoor.
