Hania Aamir has captured international attention by earning the title of the top Pakistani star and securing the 9th spot on the renowned Top 50 Asian Celebrities in the World list, published by a UK-based weekly.

Other prominent Pakistanis making the list include Riz Ahmed at 11, Zayn Malik at 21, Fahad Mustafa at 23, Shazad Latif at 24, Arooj Aftab at 33, Hiba Bukhari at 37, Atif Aslam at 41, and Sajal Aly at 48.
Earlier, Pakistani renowned actress Hania Amir has expressed that her fame makes her fearful of how she will answer to Allah Almighty.
In response to a question, she discussed her social media posts, saying, “I want everyone to be happy. If someone is facing mental health issues, they should know what the solution is and who they can talk to. Because talking about mental health is no longer considered taboo.”
She added, “I do not want anyone else to go through the difficulties I have faced regarding mental health. For a long time, talking about mental health was considered taboo, but thankfully, that is no longer the case. I always say that I am afraid of my [public] image; how will I face Allah Almighty?”
“What will I say? That I made some films and earned a lot of money?”
Hania Amir also remarked, “It doesn’t suit me; I am not like that. I try to make people laugh, and my social media posts bring joy to people. I’m happy to know this, and I hope they realise that mental health is a common issue that they can talk about.”
She had given an interview to BBC Asia earlier this year, a video clip of which has surfaced in which she spoke openly about mental health.
