Why Did Hania Amir Choose Shakib Khan?

Making her first visit to Dhaka, Pakistani star Hania Amir quickly became the talk of the town. On Saturday evening, she was the centre of attention at a star-studded, glamorous event, which also featured a surprising and memorable moment.

During the programme, the organisers showcased films featuring two Khans — one from Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, and one from Dhallywood, Shakib Khan — on a single screen. Hania was then asked which of the two actors she would choose.

As the presenter posed the question, the audience’s excitement was palpable. When Hania uttered Shakib Khan’s name, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause, reflecting the actor’s immense popularity in Bangladesh.

Once the video circulated on social media, it sparked considerable discussion. Many viewers suggested that Hania mentioned Shakib’s name primarily to please the Bangladeshi audience, raising questions about her personal preference between the two stars.

Immediately after naming Shakib Khan, Hania added: “I think you all like Shakib Khan more.”

This statement clarified her reasoning for many netizens: she had chosen Shakib Khan out of respect for the audience’s preference, rather than indicating a personal bias. It also subtly communicated that she appreciates both actors equally and that her choice was neutral and considerate.

Summary

Hania Amir’s gesture highlighted her awareness and appreciation of local fans, balancing public sentiment with her personal admiration for both cinematic icons.
