Pakistani actor Hania Aamir has criticised content creators who use women’s appearance, bodies and personal lives as material for jokes.
In an Instagram Story on Thursday, the actor said that turning women’s bodies, faces, age and private lives into punchlines in 2026 was unacceptable.
Aamir rejected the argument that such remarks could be defended as humour or personal opinion. She said there was a clear difference between offering commentary and turning a woman’s life into entertainment.
The actor also highlighted the impact of words when they come from people with large audiences. She said creators were not speaking in isolation and could influence what their followers considered normal, funny or acceptable.
Aamir urged social media users to consider their own role in encouraging such content. She said millions of people were watching and collectively deciding what could be said about women.
The actor, who recently expanded her career into singing, also questioned the contradiction of demanding positive social change while continuing to reward content that promotes misogynistic behaviour.
She stressed that women should not be treated as public property. Their bodies, appearances and personal lives, she said, should not become subjects of constant public commentary.
Aamir called on social media users to stop giving attention and reach to creators who produce such material. She also urged people not to turn women into spectacles in the name of entertainment.
Although Aamir did not identify a particular creator, her comments came amid renewed online criticism of Indian actor Katrina Kaif following her first public appearance after becoming a mother.
Katrina faced trolling on social media, while fans defended her and said changes in appearance are a natural part of motherhood, according to Indian media reports.
In Pakistan, actors Zhalay Sarhadi and Amna Ilyas have also criticised online content that targets women. They raised concerns over creators who build audiences by repeatedly criticising and policing women.
