In short

Amid tension with Pakistan, many Pakistani artists’ Instagram handles again appeared in India. The profiles of Mavra Hocken, Saba Qamar, Ahad Raza Mir, Yumna Zaidi and Danish Timur are now visible to Indian social media users.
In view of the ban on Pakistani artists and materials in India, Post Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir (22 April), Pakistani Instagram handles and YouTube channels are accessible in India once again. Apart from Pakistani actors, YouTube channels like Hum TV, Ary Digital and Har Pal Geo can now be streamful by Indian YouTube users.
Despite the Instagram account of Mavra, Saba and other actors appearing in India, some Pakistani artists are banned. Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan and Hania Aamir’s handles are inaccessible from India. When you click on their accounts from India, a message emerges that reads, “The account is not available in India. The reason is that we have complied with a legal request to ban this material.”
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has not yet been given an official statement whether the ban has been lifted or is a mess in the Instagram algorithm.
The cross-limit tension between India and Pakistan began to grow after an attack in Pahalgam by Pakistan-proposed terrorism on 22 April, claiming 26 innocent lives.
The social media handle of many Pakistani artists in India was banned as a mark of protest. Later, the Indian defense forces launched accurate attacks in nine terrorist camps in Pakistan -occupied Kashmir as part of Operation Sindoor.
Pakistani actors like Mavra and Fawad came forward to condemn India’s Operation Sindoor. After Mavra’s comments, Harshwarn Rain, co-star of his ‘Saman Teri Kasam’, talked about not working in ‘Sanam Teri Kasam 2’ if he was to be cast opposite him. He said, “When I am grateful to experience, although things are standing, and after reading the direct comments made about my country, I have decided to decline respectfully to be a part of ‘Sanam Teri Kasam Part 2’, if there is any possibility of repeating previous artists.”
Due to nationwide feelings and sensitivity about national interest, recently, actor Diljit Dosanjh also faced criticism to work with Hania in ‘Sardarji 3’.
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) demanded a ban on Diljit.
