Popular Pakistani actress Hania Aamir has reportedly been removed from the upcoming Indian Punjabi film Sardar Ji 3, amid rising tensions following the recent Pahalgam incident. The decision has sparked widespread debate across social media platforms.
The film, featuring Punjabi cinema stars Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa, recently wrapped up filming in the United Kingdom. Hania Aamir’s involvement in the project had drawn significant attention and excitement from fans across both India and Pakistan, marking a notable cross-border collaboration.
However, Indian media outlets are now reporting that Aamir’s scenes will be reshot with a different actress—a challenging move considering principal photography had already been completed. The change reportedly comes in the wake of escalating political sensitivities following the Pahalgam attack, which has had ripple effects across the entertainment industry.
The news has generated mixed reactions online. While some Pakistani users criticized Hania for pursuing work in India during heightened bilateral tensions, others expressed disappointment over what they see as a lost opportunity for artistic exchange. Her recent statements condemning the Pahalgam incident appear to have done little to reverse the decision.
One user commented, “What did you gain from chasing Bollywood trends?” while another wrote, “Her apology didn’t help her image in India—this was a PR disaster.”
Neither Hania Aamir nor the film’s producers have officially commented on the reported development. As speculation continues, the incident highlights the fragile nature of cross-border collaborations in times of political strain.
