Hania wrote, “So sad and unfortunate to know that there are artists out there in this day and age who are aware of the power that the cinema holds and still go ahead and feed the riff between the two countries. I feel sorry for the artists who try to bridge the gap by trusting their art as a medium.” 

Director Siddharth Anand reacted to a post on X which questioned Hania Aamir for slamming 'Fighter'. The 'Pathaan' director dropped a thinking face emoji.

While reacting to another post about the 2018 Pakistani film 'Parwaaz Hai Junoon', Siddharth Anand wrote, “Oh!!”. The post read, “Parwaaz Hai Junoon was an anti-Indian Air Force movie and Hania Aamir starred in it''.

Actress Zara Noor shared a video and wrote, “It’s so funny to see Hrithik Roshan say that (India owns Kashmir) and Pakistan has occupied Kashmir. Would anyone like to ask Kashmiris about who they serve? Because they serve no one. Kashmiris deserve an independent state, full stop. India needs to move past its entitlement of making Kashmiris slaves. That narrative is too old.” She also slammed the makers for copying 'Top Gun' and not doing a ‘better job.’

Adnan Siddiqui, who was part of Sridevi’s film ‘Mom’ wrote, “Once celebrated for love, Bollywood now crafts hate-filled narratives, portraying us as villains. Despite our love for your films, it’s disheartening. Art transcends boundaries; let’s use it to promote love and peace. Two nations, victims of politics, deserve better.”
