Television host Nadia Khan has once again found herself in the spotlight as her recent remarks about Pakistani actress Hania Aamir and the much-anticipated Indian Punjabi film Sardar Ji 3 have gone viral. Nadia, speaking on her show, lauded Hania for holding her ground despite the cross-border tensions and swirling rumors that had previously threatened the actress’s role in the film.
Rumors vs Reality: Hania Aamir Was Never Dropped
Following the announcement of Sardar Ji 3, rumors emerged on both sides of the border suggesting that Hania Aamir might be replaced due to rising Indo-Pak tensions. Speculations claimed that the filmmakers were planning to remove Hania from the project and reshoot her parts with an Indian actress. The reports triggered a flurry of debates online, with many believing that political pressure was behind the alleged move.
However, with the recent release of the official trailer, all such rumors were firmly put to rest. Not only is Hania Aamir prominently featured in the film, but she also appears in several key scenes with lead actor Diljit Dosanjh, showcasing her integral role in the film’s narrative.
Nadia Khan’s Take: A Masterclass in Silence
Nadia Khan, known for her bold opinions and decades-long presence in the Pakistani entertainment industry, praised the strategic silence maintained by the filmmakers and the cast.
The producers and actors of Sardar Ji 3, most of whom are Sikhs, didn’t react to any of the noise. They didn’t issue statements or try to defend Hania — instead, they let people believe what they wanted to believe. And now, with the release of the trailer, they’ve shut everyone up. I truly admire that strategy, said Nadia Khan.
She went on to highlight the strength and unity of the Sikh community, especially in the entertainment world, suggesting that they were not intimidated by political tensions or social media pressure.
Diljit Dosanjh’s Silent Support
Nadia also noted Diljit Dosanjh’s composed demeanor throughout the controversy. Despite being one of the biggest names in Indian music and cinema, Diljit chose not to engage with any of the speculation surrounding his co-star. This move, Nadia pointed out, only added to the impact of the trailer’s release.
Diljit didn’t say a word. But now that the trailer is out and Hania is in it — loud and clear — that silence speaks louder than anything, she said.
From Criticism to Admiration
Interestingly, Nadia Khan had previously expressed concerns about Hania Aamir working in India during a period of strained diplomatic ties between the two countries. In one of her earlier statements, she had remarked that Hania might be wasting her time trying to build a career in India. However, the release of Sardar Ji 3’s trailer seems to have changed Nadia’s tone.
She now acknowledges that Hania’s inclusion in the film and the positive public response to the trailer is not just a personal win for the actress, but a significant moment in cross-border artistic collaboration.
Hania Aamir’s Growing Stardom
The actress, known for her bubbly personality and versatile performances in Pakistani dramas and films, has gained immense popularity in recent years, both domestically and internationally. Her casting in a major Indian Punjabi film like Sardar Ji 3 marks a milestone in her career, making her one of the few contemporary Pakistani actresses to successfully cross over into Indian cinema amid difficult political climates.
Fans from both countries have reacted positively to the trailer, with many praising Hania’s chemistry with Diljit, her performance, and her ability to shine on a bigger cinematic canvas.
A Bigger Message
Nadia Khan’s changing stance also reflects a broader message — that art, culture, and cinema can, and often do, transcend borders. While political relationships between India and Pakistan remain fragile, projects like Sardar Ji 3 offer a glimpse into what is possible when creativity is allowed to flourish free of politics.
This isn’t just about Hania or a film. It’s about how calm, silence, and talent can speak louder than politics, and how truth always finds a way to emerge — even in the noisiest of times.
With the trailer already gaining millions of views, Sardar Ji 3 looks set to be a blockbuster — and for Hania Aamir, a defining moment in her career.
