In her Instagram stories, Hania Aamir also wrote that making accusations without concrete evidence only serves to "widen the divide" between the two nations. She also described the viral claim as "false" and urged her followers and the media to refrain from spreading misinformation.

Her post read, "Recently, a statement has been falsely attributed to me and is being widely circulated on social media. I want to address this directly: I did not make this statement, and I do not endorse or align with the words being linked to me. It is entirely fabricated and misrepresents who I am and what I believe".

"That being said, this is a deeply sensitive and emotional time. My heart goes out to the innocent lives lost and the families affected by the recent tragedy. Pain like this is real, and it deserves empathy-not politicisation. In times like these, it's easy to let emotions cloud our judgment, but we must remember: the actions of extremists do not represent an entire nation or its people. Assigning blame without proof only deepens divides and distracts from the real need for compassion, justice, and healing," she continued as expressed sympathies for the Pahalgam attack victims.
