It appears that India is easing its digital restrictions on Pakistani celebrities and entertainment content.
Indian users have found Pakistani stars Yumna Zaidi, Dananeer Mobeen, Ahad Raza Mir, Azaan Sami Khan, Mawra Hocane, Ameer Gilani, and Danish Taimoor’s social media accounts accessible once again in the country.
Whereas another popular name, Hania Aamir, who is clasping hands with Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh in Sardar Ji 3, is still inaccessible in India.
Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan’s social media accounts are also restricted on Indian platforms.
However, no official explanation has been provided by Indian officials regarding the partial rollover.
Indian X user Sonam Mahajan brought the matter to light by posting: “BREAKING: Instagram accounts of Pakistani artists Yumna Zaidi, Dananeer Mobeen, Ahad Raza Mir, Azaan Sami, Mawra Hocane, Ameer Gilani and Danish Taimoor, which were restricted in India in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, are now accessible again.”
She also added that official YouTube channels for Pakistani broadcasters HUM TV, Har Pal Geo, and ARY Digital had also been unrestricted.
India had previously restricted various Pakistani entertainment channels and social media accounts of Pakistani stars in an aftermath of Pahalgam incident.
