After Hania, Instagram Accounts of These Pakistani Celebs Blocked
Mumbai: After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, some Pakistani stars' Instagram accounts were blocked in India. Initially, names like Hania Aamir and Mahira Khan were included in this list. Now, the list has expanded to include Pakistani singer Atif Aslam, actor Fawad Khan, and singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. The blocking of these three Instagram accounts has sparked discussions on social media. Many users have expressed concerns, saying that they are now worried about Coke Studio Pakistan as well.
After the Instagram accounts of Fawad Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, and Atif Aslam were blocked in India, one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "This is getting serious, what will happen to Coke Studio Pakistan?" Another user commented, "Atif Aslam sir is also gone. Now I'm worried that Coke Studio might get banned."
It is important to note that this action was taken after the Pahalgam terror attack. This year, Pakistani actor Fawad Khan was set to make his Bollywood comeback with the release of his film Abir Gulal on May 9. However, following the Pahalgam terror attack, a ban was imposed on his film.
It is important to mention that on April 22, a terrorist attack took place in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The attack targeted tourists who were visiting Kashmir. Around 28 people lost their lives in this attack. Since then, there has been widespread anger across the country against Pakistan and terrorism.
