Are Hania Aamir and Rakhi Sawant the new besties in town?
Rakhi Sawant is “coming to Pakistan” and her new gal pal Hania Aamir is going to pick her up from the airport — or so we’ve heard.
Now, you might be confused. How does one of Pakistan’s most beloved actors become friends with one of India’s most fascinating reality show stars? Social media, of course!
It all began when, in an interview with Pakistani journalist Murtaza Ali Shah, Sawant challenged Aamir, Nargis and Deedar to a dance-off, claiming she was better than all three combined.
“We’ll dance to Pakistani music,” Sawant exclaimed.
When someone as iconic and viral as Sawant — best known for her wild antics and deeply poignant yet unhinged sayings — challenges you, of course, you have to respond; which is exactly what Aamir did
The Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actor wasted no time using the audio in a reel and lip-syncing to the words perfectly. After all, legends recognise legends.
You would think the interaction would end there, right? Wrong.
Yesterday, a disgruntled Sawant posted a video from the airport requesting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to remove the ban on TikTok otherwise she would move to Pakistan, marry a Pakistani man and eat halwa puri. What the breakfast food has to do with all of this, we simply don’t know.
In 2020, India banned 59 Chinese mobile apps, including the wildly popular TikTok, over national security and privacy concerns weeks after a deadly Himalayan border clash between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
“Everyone around the world is earning money from TikTok, I’m in Dubai and earning from TikTok,” Sawant said, urging him to immediately lift the ban because she did not want to leave India.
The internet sensation then showed her trolley bag as she walked through the airport and said she was on her way to Pakistan to meet Aamir, Deedar and Nargis.
Sawant then asked if Aamir had space in her house. “Your sister from India is coming to meet you. Come pick me from the airport, I’m coming to Pakistan. I don’t have too much baggage.”
She concluded the video with, “Hania, I love you.”
Shortly after, Aamir posted a response to her Instagram story. “I just wanted to say, life used to be sad but then Rakhi ji came into my life. Rakhi ji I’m coming to pick you from the airport.”
This entire interaction has left us shook. Will Sawant ever actually come to Pakistan? Does Aamir have the space to house her? Do we dare imagine Rakhi and Hania living together, two bestie roommates? Can one apartment handle so much star power?
Only time will tell.
