Actor Hania Aamir has come under fire after posting a video of herself riding a motorbike through Karachi streets with a friend—neither wearing helmets.

Social activist Shaniera Akram, a vocal advocate for road safety, took to Instagram to voice her concern. While clarifying that her comments were not a personal attack, she reminded influencers of their responsibility to promote safe behaviour and expressed relief that Hania was unharmed.
