Pakistani actress Hania Aamir receives water bottles from Indian fans after Indus Waters Treaty tension, netizens react

As the political climate between India and Pakistan grows increasingly tense following the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, even pop culture figures are feeling the ripple effects. Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, known for her vibrant on-screen presence and popularity in India, recently became part of an unusual online conversation¡ªone that blended political symbolism with meme culture.

Hania Aamir receives a package of water bottles from an Indian fan

A viral video, circulating widely on social media, shows a group of Hania¡¯s Indian fans packing a box of water bottles addressed to her home in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The carton bore the words: "To Hania Aamir. Rawal Pind. Punjab, Pakistan. From India." The video was apparently intended as a light-hearted reference to the recent suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, announced as part of India¡¯s five-point response to the attack in Jammu and Kashmir.

However, what started as a meme quickly escalated into a polarising online debate. While some netizens found the gesture humorous, others felt the timing was inappropriate, especially considering the loss of innocent lives and the seriousness of the geopolitical tension.
