After the Pahalgam terror attack, India had banned all Pakistani artists, including their presence on social media platforms. Actress Mawra Hocane, best known in India for her role in Sanam Teri Kasam, was among those affected. Now, after nearly two months, her Instagram account is visible again to Indian users.
Instagram account appears real, fans react
Mawra Hocane’s Instagram handle now shows 9.8 million followers and includes photos from her recent wedding. Her profile also features clips from Sanam Teri Kasam, including a story highlight. These details have led fans to believe that this is indeed her real account, though some are still skeptical and questioning its authenticity.
Other Pakistani stars still blocked in India
While Mawra’s profile is back, Instagram accounts of other Pakistani celebrities like Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, and Hania Aamir remain blocked in India. Indian users still cannot access their profiles, suggesting the social media ban is partially lifted and not for all artists.
Mawra Hocane gained fame in India from Sanam Teri Kasam
Released in 2016, Sanam Teri Kasam gave Mawra significant recognition among Indian audiences. Co-starring with Harshvardhan Rane, the film didn’t do well initially but developed a strong following over time. In fact, its recent re-release performed better at the box office, indicating the lasting popularity of its story and lead pair.
