Indian media just cannot seem to get over their obsession with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, whose film Sardaar Ji 3 is doing exceptionally well both globally and in Pakistan despite being banned in India.

In a recent live show on an Indian news channel, a guest bizarrely pretended not to know Hania, who has a massive fanbase in India.

He mockingly called her “Hania Paneer”. The anchor could not hold back his laughter because it was more dumb than funny.

“Who is this Hania Paneer or Ameer? I am hearing her name for the first time,” the guest snapped, just to grab two seconds of fame.

This is not the first time an Indian has mispronounced Hania’s name. Earlier, Indian anchor Arnab Goswami deliberately did the same while referring to the Pakistani actress.

Arnab questioned why Bollywood works with Pakistani artists, as if he is ever cared to understand art. He falsely claimed that Bollywood itself is banning the film, when in reality, the government banned Hania and other Pakistani actors after the Pahalgam incident.

Throughout the video, he criticised the film in the name of nationalism.

Hania Aamir’s movie is breaking records

Her movie has reportedly delivered a record-breaking first-day box office performance in Pakistan, collecting an estimated $500,000 on its opening day alone.

According to Gulf News, Sardaar Ji 3 has officially become the highest-ever opening for an Indian film in Pakistan. The record was previously hold by Salman Khan’s Sultan.

Recently, Diljit Dosanjh who is in the lead role alongside Hania Aamir, took to his Instagram stories and re-posted a video which showed audience reactions to Sardaar Ji 3 in a Pakistani theatre. The text on the reel he re-shared reads, “12 shows on ultra screens the largest in the country. Overwhelming response from the audience for Sardaar Ji 3. Come and watch!”

Since the Pahalgam inciden in April, a decision was taken by Indian government not to cast Pakistani actors in films or to feature artists in works. However, speaking to BBC Asian Network, Diljit maintained that the film was shot months before the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. He also spoke in support of the producers releasing the film abroad.
