Hania Aamir cheers for Badshah amid calls to boycott Pakistani talent following Pahalgam terror attack
Badshah and Hania Aamir share a close bond. They are often seen cheering for each other on social media. Now, Hania took to Instagram to give a shout-out to Badshah's upcoming song, Galiyon Ke Ghalib.
Taking to Instagram Stories, she shared the song teaser, and penned a sweet caption, showing her support for her friend.
Recently, Badshah shared the teaser of his upcoming song, with a caption that read, 'Galiyon ke Ghalib. Out on 30/4. 11:00 am'. Following which, Hania cheered for her friend. She reposted the teaser on her Stories and wrote, 'Banaya tu ne Ghalib. Finally (smile emoticon)'.
Her post comes in the midst of a raging debate over whether Pakistani actors should be allowed to work in India amid the escalating tensions between the countries.
Last week, Hania was also among the first Pakistani celebrities to react to the incident. In her Instagram story, she wrote, 'Tragedy anywhere is a tragedy for all of us. My heart is with the innocent lives affected by the recent events. In pain, in grief, and in hope—we are one. When innocent lives are lost, the pain is not theirs alone—it belongs to all of us. No matter where we come from, grief speaks the same language. May we choose humanity, always."
At least 26 people lost their lives when terrorists descended from the hills in the picturesque valley area and opened fire at the tourists present there on April 22, in what turned out to be one of the deadliest terror attack in Kashmir. The incident happened on Tuesday at 3 pm when the terrorists opened fire on innocent civilians in Pahalgam's Baisaran in Jammu and Kashmir. Last week, Union home minister Amit Shah during his visit to the attack site at Baisaran near Pahalgam in south Kashmir's Anantnag district, declared that the nation will never bow to terrorism and vowed that those behind the heinous act will be brought to justice.

Michael Franti is the frontman of Michael Franti & Spearhead.(Instagram/ Michael Franti) Festival promoter Sixthman announced on Sunday that the event, scheduled to take place November 4–8, 2025, would no longer move forward.

We are actively working to announce a new event that will sail November 4-8, 2025. Additional details will be shared tomorrow, Monday, August 18,' Sixthman said in a statement. 'As we communicated on Friday to booked guests, all guests will be offered options regarding their reservations, which include a full refund or future Sixthman credit. We appreciate your patience as we work behind the scenes to provide swift and clear information to our guests.' Who is Michael Franti? Michael Franti, born April 21, 1966, is a singer, songwriter, and activist best known as the frontman of Michael Franti & Spearhead. His music career began in the 1980s with the experimental groups The Beatnigs and The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, before forming Spearhead in the '90s. The band's notable albums include Stay Human (2001) and All Rebel Rockers (2008). Allegations from Victoria Canal Earlier this month, singer-songwriter Victoria Canal shared a post on Instagram alleging that she had been sexually abused and groomed by an unnamed 'very powerful' man in the music industry when she was 19. 'This is something I've never spoken about publicly, and have been holding for 8 years now – it has plagued my body, spirit, and mind, in subliminal and overt ways, for my entire 20s,' Canal wrote on August 11. She described being contacted by a much older man who 'plucked me out of the internet, and college, and invited me on my first professional opportunity.' Canal said she chose not to name the individual 'because I can't risk the financial loss or emotional terror a lawsuit would bring." Although Canal did not name Franti in her post, online speculation and fan comments pointed to him, noting that he had invited her to collaborate in Nashville in 2018 when she was 19.

'I vehemently dispute any version of the story that says otherwise.'
