The Instagram handles of several Pakistani artists including Mawra Hocane, Saba Qamar, Ahad Raza Mir, Yumna Zaidi, and Danish Taimoor have reappeared in India amidst tensions with Pakistan. This comes after the ban on Pakistani artists and content in India following the Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistani Instagram handles and YouTube channels like Hum TV, ARY Digital, and Har Pal Geo are now accessible in India. However, some artists like Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, and Hania Aamir remain restricted. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is yet to make an official statement regarding the ban status.
Cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam attack, leading to the ban on several Pakistani artistes in India. Indian Defence Forces conducted strikes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response. Pakistani actors like Mawra and Fawad expressed their opinions on the matter, with repercussions in the industry. Actor Diljit Dosanjh also faced criticism for working with Hania in a film, leading to demands for a ban by FWICE.
