Hania Aamir dropped from Sardaar Ji 3?

Hania Aamir is now at the centre of a growing controversy tied to her role in the Indian Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3.

Her role in the film had created buzz.

However, Hania’s involvement has reportedly been cut, sparking intense debate on both sides of the border.

It is reported that Hania Aamir’s role in Sardaar Ji 3 will be omitted, and she will be replaced by another actress.

The movie stars Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa, and is scheduled for release on June 27, 2025.

The apparent last-minute change poses a challenge to the producers, as her scenes have already been filmed.

The supposed decision reportedly comes in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, which saw 26 tourists killed.

Following the uproar, Hania Aamir condemned the incident, hoping perhaps to quiet the backlash.

But the reaction from social media has remained divided and fiery.

In Pakistan, many social media users have reacted with satisfaction at her alleged removal from the film.

Some critics accused Hania of compromising national dignity to chase fame in the Indian film industry.

Several users referenced her Instagram reels that echo Bollywood-style performances, calling them “out of place”.

Some comments went as far as to accuse her of using patriotism selectively, only when it could protect her career.

A user said: “She deserved this behaviour after embarrassing the whole nation for Bollywood.”

Another commented: “What did you get out of those Bollywood-inspired Instagram reels?”

One wrote: “She got insulted by Indians and here. Her apology and condemnation didn’t work.”

There is a growing sentiment in Pakistan that actors are too eager to seek validation from across the border.

For many actors, it means risking their reputation at home.

Meanwhile, Indian reactions have been mixed. Some fans expressed disappointment over her reported exit.

Her fans expressed that they were excited to see her share the screen with Diljit and Neeru.

Others welcomed the decision, arguing that keeping her in the film would have added unnecessary controversy to a production already under pressure.

It remains to be seen how the fallout will affect her future projects, both in Pakistan and beyond.

The Sardaar Ji franchise has a strong fan following, and any major casting shake-up is bound to have ripple effects.

However, the whole situation shows the fragile space that cross-border artists occupy.
