Icon on all screens

The many times Hania Aamir was Gen Z’s champion

Hania Aamir’s birthday may well be over, but February sure isn’t. If there’s anything we’ve learned about the screen star, it’s that she isn’t opposed to making it a month-long event. Given her abundance of pre-birthday celebrations, it only makes sense to top the occasion off with post-birthday celebrations. After all, it’s Hania’s month and we’re just experiencing it. (Unless you, too, finish a birth cycle this month, in which case I’m sure she’s willing to share.)

In the spirit of Hania’s special month and the joy she brings to both the television screen and the screens of our phones, here are the many times she earned her spot as the face of Gen Z in Pakistan.

Queen of spamming

Instagram might tell you that the Mere Humsafar actor has a count of 1200+ posts, but you won’t let that underestimation deceive you if you’re aware of Hania’s many carousels. If there’s one thing you should know about her aesthetic, it’s that she lives for the romanticism of mundanity.

Like many active Gen Z users, Hania is no stranger to celebrating the little things in life, opting for a more ‘relatable’ feed than a fancy one. Although the glamour is a frequent visitor in her life given her celebrity status, that doesn’t stop her from going rogue with her candid captures.

From letting herself be frozen in motion to declaring her affection for her friends, Hania is well-versed in the language of love. In her generous thread posts, she sneaks in her shortcomings too, like a chipped nail or a responsive pout. But even that is part of her ultimate goal of celebrating each walk of life.

There are a dozen ways to charm the slower moments of existence and Hania is ever-ready to flaunt her skills through her endless photo dumps.

Fashionista on a stroll

Let the Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum star be your reminder that having fun doesn’t come with a compromise on serving looks. Cutesy and demure as she is, Hania has street-centric looks for days.

Owing to the seasonal chill, she often dons chunky coats over the customary jeans and T-shirt as she strolls through foreign streets, topping off the look with caps, sunglasses, and sometimes even a cup of coffee. The undercover look with Hania’s signature bob? Iconic.

Spontaneous stories

While she keeps the mystique by providing little context in her captions, Hania keeps her fans in the loop with entertaining stories as she prepares for another exciting aspect of her life, like in January when she shared “a story of a sleepy girl” on Instagram Reels.

“All of my friends are free, and they want me to step out. But I don’t want to step out,” she rants, as she begrudgingly dabs blush on her face.

But don’t count on our birthday star to not get distracted during her story times because a lack of sleep will have her wandering around her room as she gets ready. However, she does justify that sleep is difficult to evade by turning the camera to her cat resting comfortably in her bed. If anything, she’s stronger than most folks for leaving her bed under these compelling circumstances.

Even fans agree that Hania is all of us during the draining wedding season. The blanket-cuddling Gen Z was not made to juggle events daily and nightly. Yet here we are, and here is Hania, who flashes a wide smile to the camera as she poses in her fresh look, before going back to mourning her little energy.
