Director Musaddiq Malek, who is currently directing Hania Aamir in the hit drama Meri Zindagi Hai Tu, recently defended the actress against those who undervalue her talent.
In a recent interview about the drama’s cast, Malek said, “We don’t give enough credit to Hania Aamir for her acting skills and brain simply because she is pertty. I am speaking generally but being pretty comes with side effects, beauty with brain is a rare combination.”
Fans quickly responded to his comments on social media with overwhelming support for the actress.
“Haniaaaa,” one fan wrote enthusiastically, while another commented that Hania is a versatile actress who is amazing. “Finally someone said it,” added a third fan, with others simply praising her as an amazing actress and agreeing with Malik’s observation.
Hania Aamir currently stars alongside Bilal Abbas Khan in Meri Zindagi Hai Tu on ARY Digital, which premiered in late 2025 and has already crossed 600 million views on YouTube. Written by Radain Shah, the drama is on track to become 2026’s first Pakistani show to hit one billion views.
