Instagram profiles of Mawra Hocane, Yumna Zaidi, and other Pakistani actors partially restored in India : Bollywood News
After the tragic terrorist attack of Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, which led to the death of 26 civilians, mainly Hindu tourists, India launched a series of reprisals, including the Sindoor operation – a military operation targeting the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupying Jammu and Kashmir (Pojk). In the next day, the Indian government imposed restrictions on several Pakistani social media accounts, including those of eminent actors such as Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir, Ali Zafar and others.

However, since July 2, 2025, the Instagram accounts of several Pakistani artists, including Mawra Hocane, Saba Qamar, Ahad Raza Mir, Yumna Zaidi and Danish Taimoor, have been restored and are now visible for Indian users. Despite this, the profiles of other well -known characters such as Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir and Atif Aslam remain inaccessible in India, displaying a message indicating: “An account not available in India. It is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.”
The selective nature of these restrictions has triggered discussions between social media users, with many questions about the criteria used to determine which accounts are blocked and which are restored. Some have expressed their confusion on the incoherent application of these measures, while others have called for a more uniform approach.
This development highlights the complex interaction between international relations, national security problems and the digital presence of public figures. While tensions between India and Pakistan continue to influence cultural and media exchanges, the accessibility of social media accounts remains a sensitive and evolving problem.
