Pakistani actress and social media sensation Hania Aamir was honored with the Star of Pakistan award at a prestigious ceremony held in the Jubilee Room of the UK Parliament. The award was presented by Labour MP Afzal Khan, alongside Dr. Sarah Naseem, wife of Pakistan’s High Commissioner to the UK, and Maria Saroya, CEO of Samara Events UK.
The ceremony recognized Hania Aamir’s international success as an actress, influencer, and cultural ambassador. Over the years, she has gained immense popularity, not only in Pakistan but also across South Asia, particularly in India, where she enjoys a significant fan following.

Expressing her gratitude upon receiving the award, Hania Aamir shared her thoughts on the significance of promoting Pakistan’s culture and talent. She emphasized the importance of community support and spreading positivity, stating that as a collective, Pakistanis should work towards uplifting one another.
She also spoke about the power of art in bridging divides between India and Pakistan, referencing the viral moment when Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh invited her on stage during his London concert last year. She remarked that the moment created a wave of positivity and reinforced the idea that art should transcend politics, focusing instead on humanity and creativity.
In a time when cultural exchanges between India and Pakistan remain a sensitive topic, the entertainment industry continues to serve as a bridge between the two nations. The global influence of South Asian artists has been widely recognized, but at times, their contributions face setbacks.

Hania Aamir’s remarks about art rising above political boundaries resonate with similar sentiments recently expressed by Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who criticized the Oscars for overlooking India’s cinematic excellence. Referring to the controversy surrounding India’s Oscar snub, Padukone declared, “India has been robbed.” Her statement highlights the ongoing struggle for greater South Asian representation on international platforms and the need to celebrate talent without bias.
Rumessah Maria, one of the key organizers of the event, introduced Hania Aamir as an artist who has broken international boundaries and redefined the entertainment industry. She described Aamir as not just an actress but also a cultural ambassador and a youth icon, someone who has brought a fresh perspective to acting and fashion while continuing to inspire young people.
Business leaders and community representatives also praised her contributions, including Atta Haq, Chairman of the Labour Asians Society, British business tycoon Mansoor Shafique, Professor Dr. Shahzad Qureshi, and Vice President of the Labour Asians Society Hanif Khan. They acknowledged her influence on youth empowerment and commended her for spreading confidence and motivation, particularly among young women.
Hania Aamir’s recognition at the UK Parliament’s Jubilee Room marks yet another milestone in her flourishing career. As she continues to captivate audiences worldwide, her contributions to arts, culture, and youth empowerment serve as an inspiration for aspiring artists and fans alike.
