    “I pride myself on being the person that I am today,” wrote Hania alongside a picture of herself. “Yes, I make the most of each day. Yes, I speak my mind. Yes, you might think I’m too much. I am. I am all of these things. I am extra. Extra. I love more. Laugh more. Feel more. Every emotion is heightened and that is the person that I am.”

    She further said: “But what I’ve been seeing on social media lately makes me not sad exactly but confused.”

    “How can people not be okay with seeing someone happy? Why can’t people be happy in others happiness? Somebody smiling can put you off? Because they’re not what you expect them to be or they don’t lead their life how you do?”

    “There are all kinds of people in this world,” said Aamir further. “Some you get some you don’t but [hate] is not even an option. At least not in 2021 when we’ve seen so much together as a world.”

    “Kindness is attractive. Being supportive is attractive. Respecting people is attractive. Coexisting with a difference of opinion is attractive.”

    “Basically I am amazing you should get to know me,” she concluded on a humourous note.

    Hania recently sparked backlash after she talked about colour shaming and flawed beauty standards. Netizens and social media users had called the actor out for using a beauty filter and not showing her own raw skin while talking about embracing flaws.

    Later, Hania took to her Instagram to respond to the criticism saying, “I was even wearing makeup that day. The point is being comfortable with who you are, doing things because you want to do them, not doing things because [of] the beauty standards that are set.”

    ‘Don’t pit women against women’: Hania Aamir responds to backlash on using beauty filter

    Hania Aamir recently sparked backlash after she talked about colour shaming and flawed beauty standards in a series of posts on her Instagram stories. Netizens and social media users called the actor out for using a beauty filter and not showing her own raw skin while talking about embracing flaws.

    Responding to the criticism, Hania said: “I was even wearing makeup that day. The point is being comfortable with who you are, doing things because you want to do them, not doing things because [of] the beauty standards that are set.”

    “Does that makes sense?” questioned Hania after clarifying her stance.

    “If I am using a beauty filter because I want to use it then it’s fine. But if I use a beauty filter because I feel pressurized by the society, then it is wrong,” she explained.

    The actor further said: “Let’s not kill the whole conversation and pit women against women just because you don’t understand my point of view. There is something good going on over here, so please expand your brains and think positively.”

    Hania further said that she has been talking about skin positivity for the last two years.

    “Agar mein ne beauty filter user kar lia aik din toh aap ko opportunity mil gae hai. Itnay opportunist na bano yaar,” she remarked. “This is me with a bare face, deal with it.”

    This is not the first time Hania has talked about unrealistic beauty standards. Earlier in 2019, Aamir had opened up about her struggle with acne and talked about unrealistic beauty standards.

    Meanwhile, Syra Yousuf also posted a barefaced selfie of herself while responding to those who posted negative comments about her skin.

    “It is not okay that any agency of anywhere gets to get away with this,” remarked the resident. “I am shocked at the inhumanity in our country and its people. They [dogs] are scared of you, you do not need to feel threatened.”

    “What if he was a German Shepherd? Would it have been shot?,” questioned Mehak. “Probably not.”

    Soon after the video started doing the rounds on social media, several celebrities including Hania Aamir and Yasir Hussain condemned the brutal killing of the dog.

    Hania Aamir: first a vlogger now a TikToker?

    Hania Aamir, in a video posted to her YouTube channel, has announced that she will now be making TikTok videos as she is obsessed with them.

    The first video that she tried making involved her entering the car from one door and exiting from the other. When she exits the second door, her clothes change.

    The second and third videos involved her indulging in tricks in which she instantly changed her clothes and shoes.

    While Hania’s initial TikTok videos were viral challenges, she wanted to make some original content so she decided to make a video in which she plays the double-role of a mother and daughter. As the daughter enters the house, apparently from a late-night party, the mother waits for her with a slipper in her hand. The daughter runs to her room to dodge the slipper but the slipper follows her to the room and starts banging on the door.

    Once the banging stops, the daughter thinks she is safe but immediately the slipper hits her head and her outfit changes and she turns into a girl who does house chores.

    Ending the video, Hania asked her followers to rate her TikTok videos by commenting ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’.

    “This was me trying to get myself together after shedding two tears over three mean comments,” said Hania while sharing a picture of herself.

    “Words are powerful. They can create and destroy. Why use them to knock people down when you can use them to lift each other up,” she questioned.

    “Being mean is easy and weak and projection of your own fears and insecurities. Use your words wisely,” she added.

    Earlier in an interview, Mawra Hocane had also talked about being attacked and criticised on social media.

    “I am getting used to it now, but six years ago it was very difficult,” said the actor. “Like, if I am giving an interview right now, it is possible that I may say something wrong. But I realised five years ago that anything wrong that comes out of your mouth is no longer wrong when it reaches social media, it becomes a sin.”

    “You can’t even think about making a mistake, because you have been placed on a pedestal where you can’t say anything wrong. So the first time this hit me I was like, I want to stop using it. I want to stop acting and I just want to leave. And I actually went to Sydney and told my parents ‘I don’t want to do this anymore,’” she shared.

    “I told my parents people here want to kill me because I said something wrong. And even today I don’t want to defend myself, I am scared of it. I say ‘you know what? I am wrong! But are you really going to take my life for it?’” she questioned.

    Mawra further shared that the fear has never left her which is why she prefers to play it safe in her interviews and has started opting for giving standard responses.
