(Web Desk) - Actor Hania Aamir has reignited conversations around women’s autonomy and online scrutiny by sharing a powerful video from a recent public address.
The clip, posted on her Instagram, featured moments from her speech at the 16 Days of Activism Against Digital Violence event held in Islamabad.
In the caption, Aamir wrote without hesitation: “Women are not born to fulfil anyone’s fantasy.”
She followed this with a deeply personal reflection, stating: “Somewhere along the way, I was made to feel like being too much was a flaw.”
The actor elaborated that she was often labelled “too loud. Too soft. Too ambitious. Too visible. Too many things at once.”
The video came from an event she attended in December 2025, months after being appointed Pakistan’s National Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women.
Sharing why the moment mattered to her, Aamir reflected on her younger self and the confusion she once carried.
“When I was younger, I thought something was wrong with me because I did not fit the version of a woman the world seemed comfortable with.”
She described standing on stage as a defining emotional moment, saying the teenage girl inside her felt stunned.
Aamir concluded that realisation with clarity, writing: “Because all along, I was never the problem. The boxes were.”
Known for her outspoken digital presence, Aamir has often addressed public scrutiny, especially directed at women in entertainment.
