Hania Aamir is facing criticism from activist Shaniera Akram after posting a video to her Instagram of herself riding recklessly on a scooter without any safety precautions. Akram has been a vocal proponent of road safety, previously calling out other celebrities for not wearing seatbelts or putting their children in dangerous situations and sharing videos of it.

The video, posted by Aamir in a carousel, shows the actress standing behind a man riding a scooter, wearing heels and dancing. The clip quickly circulated online, catching the attention of Akram, who issued a strongly worded statement. “I worked so hard for so many years with hospitals and doctors to try to influence the youth of Pakistan to wear helmets and ride safely. This is like a dagger to my heart!” she wrote on her Instagram stories.

Akram stressed how dangerous such stunts can be, not only for the person involved but also for the audiences that may be tempted to copy them. In a follow-up post, Akram clarified she had nothing personal against Aamir. “She should know better than this. It’s not rocket science; it’s illegal and stupid. I really hope that she sees this is not okay and sets it straight with a post that reminds her followers not to copy this kind of behaviour. And thank God nothing happened to her.” So far, Aamir has not responded publicly to Akram’s remarks.
