“I walked up to her and asked what had happened"
A recent meet-and-greet event in Dallas, Texas, with Hania Aamir turned chaotic, leaving fans disappointed.
The event, part of a US tour with co-star Fahad Mustafa, aimed to connect the stars with their American audience.
The evening began with delays as the stars arrived late, frustrating fans who had gathered to meet their favourites.
Things took a dramatic turn when Hania Aamir left just 35 minutes after it started.
Fans at the event were visibly upset, with many venting their anger and disappointment on social media.
Fahad Mustafa attempted to salvage the situation by engaging with the audience briefly after Hania’s exit, but he departed soon after.
The incident drew criticism, with some questioning the professionalism of the stars.
Hania has now stated the reason for her sudden exit.
According to the actress, one of the event organisers verbally abused her manager, Maida Azmat, prompting her to intervene.
Hania detailed the incident, explaining that tensions escalated when the organiser’s aggression required security to step in.
Describing the chaotic scene, Hania said: “Everyone saw videos of me walking to the crowd and taking pictures, and everything was fine.
“But when I was heading back to my seat, I heard one of the organisers verbally abusing my manager.
“I walked up to her and asked what had happened and told the man (one of the organisers) that he cannot speak to her like that.
“Then we decided to start with the photos with the fans backstage.
“At this point, he came running after us, calling us names, telling us to get out, called off the security protocols, and verbally assaulted us even more (people had to hold him back).”
She expressed disappointment over the ordeal, emphasising the need for respect in professional settings.
Hania continued: “Firstly, whatever your position may be, big or small, it gives you no right to disrespect anyone.
“Just because us women are in male-dominated fields, gives you no right to assume that you can get away with almost anything and that we will not take a stand for ourselves.”
Hania also criticised the media for spreading misinformation:
“I understand it’s a juicy story that a female artist left a show or misbehaved.”
“But it would be really nice if media houses show some responsibility with their journalism and stop putting allegations on us.”
Fellow actors and industry professionals showed their support for Hania Aamir.
Celebrities like Yashma Gill, Maya Ali and Nabeel Qureshi reshared Hania’s Instagram Story, condemning the organiser’s behaviour.
Hania Aamir extended an apology to the fans who came to see her.
She added: “I dearly love every single one of you. I am sorry things had to end this way.”
