Pakistani superstar Hania Aamir took center stage on social media after a recent incident on her UK trip. The actress, who was honoured with a prestigious recognition award by the UK Parliament, was caught in an unexpected moment when surrounded by reporters.
A viral video shows Hania at an event with her manager, Maida Azmat, when reporters suddenly request an interview. The actress seemed unprepared for the interaction and asked to recover while attempting to conceal something in her hand.
Social media users were quick to start talking, many suggesting she was holding a vape, which she discreetly passed to her manager, causing it to fall to the ground accidentally. The incident sparked heated online discussions, dividing netizens into opposing camps.

Critics were quick to comment, stating, “We saw what she was hiding,” while another said, “Oh, so she smokes too.” However, loyal fans rushed to her defense, clarifying and retorting, “Shame on the people saying it’s a vape—it was just her lip gloss,” and another arguing, “Everyone in the industry smokes, so what if she was?”
Despite being the latest victim of controversy, Hania remains Pakistan’s most-followed entertainment personality with 18 million Instagram followers. The actress has built her reputation through stellar performances in hit dramas.
The prominent ones include Dilruba, Titli, and the recent superhit Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, which earned her widespread fame for her outstanding acting. This incident highlights celebrities’ intense criticism in this modernized digital age.
Every moment can become public discourse, and while some criticize the actress’s alleged actions, others emphasize that personal habits shouldn’t overshadow her professional achievements and contributions to Pakistani entertainment.
As the debate continues, it serves as a reminder of the challenges public figures face in maintaining their image while navigating personal choices under constant public observation.
