TL;DR:Ā Mawra Hocane, Yumna Zaidi, Ahad Raza Mir, Saba Qamar, Danish Taimoor ā their Instagram profiles, blocked in India since the Pahalgam terror strike on AprilāÆ22, are suddenly visible again as of JulyāÆ1ā2,āÆ2025! šØ But top-tier celebs like Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir & Atif Aslam? Still barred. No official word on why; fans are vibing, critics are questioning: glitch or policy shift? Letās unpack the drama! š

š Whatās the Sitrep?
Since the AprilāÆ22 terror strike in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, India blocked many Pakistani celebs on Instagram using āgeo-blockā after their posts or comments upset Indian users and authorities.
Now, as of JulyāÆ1ā2, accounts of Mawra Hocane, Saba Qamar, Yumna Zaidi, Ahad Raza Mir, Danish Taimoor and a few others have suddenly become accessible again to Indian netizens.
But Aālist stars like Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir, and Atif Aslam are still showing the dreaded āAccount not available in India. Legal requestā¦ā message.
š Who Are These Stars?
Mawra HocaneĀ ā Big name in Pakistani TV, made Bollywood debut in Sanam Teri KasamĀ in 2016. Sheās also a lawyer by qualification and recently married Ameer Gilani in FebāÆ2025.
Yumna ZaidiĀ ā Awardāwinning Urdu TV actress famous for social and romantic dramas. She has 5 Lux Style Awards and 2 Hum Awards.
Ahad Raza MirĀ ā PakistaniāCanadian star known for Yaqeen Ka Safar, Netflixās Resident Evil, and BBCās World on Fire. Heās bagged several big awards.
Plus Saba QamarĀ and Danish Taimoor, who are also big crowd-pullers, have reappeared on Indian screens.
š What Are Fans Saying?
Indian fans are flooding Twitter, Reddit and Insta stories with screenshots showing Mawraās profile is live again.
āIs it only me who can see Mawra Hocaneās Insta profile?!āāInstagram access to Pakistani artists restored? Kya scene hai bhai?ā
Even meme queen Dananeer Mobeen (Pawri Ho Rahi HaiĀ fame) is slowly making her way back, bringing nostalgia for fans who love #crossborder vibes.
š§ Why Now? Glitch or Choice?
No official statement from Meta (Instagram) or Indiaās IT Ministry about any policy change or update.
It could be a targeted rollback, where only Bālist celebs are allowed back first, while Aālisters stay blocked to avoid backlash.
Some tech experts think it might be a technical goof-up, because geo-filtering is complex and sometimes randomly resets.
But speculation is going wild among fans: āIs this the start of ending the #InstagramBan?ā
š®š³āļøšµš° Cultural & Political Angle
This partial unblocking could be a soft move to reconnect young fans of Pakistani shows, songs, and dramas without fully upsetting pressure groups.
Still, celebs like Hania Aamir remain blocked. Remember, she faced major backlash over her Bollywood casting rumours and even tried to create a new Insta account to reach Indian audiences.
The social ripple: youth culture is thirsty for creative exchange, but political bitterness keeps surfacing. Only select stars are back, showing that cultural ties are being filtered carefully.
š¤ Whatās Next?
Will more Pakistani stars get unblocked soon? Especially heavyweights like Mahira and Fawad?
Will this boost IndiaāPakistan youth culture and cross-border fan clubs?
Or is this just a temporary glitch that might reverse anytime?
š¬ MediaFx Take (From the Peopleās View)
From the working folksā angle, this feels like a positive step. Art, #culture and #youth connections shouldnāt be controlled by politiciansā moods or policies. But when only a few celebs are allowed back, it shows that power still picks and chooses who gets visibility. We cheer for Mawra, Yumna, and Ahadās comeback, but also demand that allĀ artists get the same freedom. Let creativity flow without selective blocks. Art belongs to people, not to power games. āšØ
