The award ceremony took place in the Jubilee Room of the House of Commons on Monday and was hosted by British Member of Parliament Afzal Khan. The event celebrated Hania’s impact on the Pakistani entertainment sector and her increasing popularity beyond national borders.


Acknowledging the honour

Addressing the gathering, Hania Aamir expressed her gratitude for the recognition. “It is an absolute honour to be here, and it means a lot to me,” she said. “I hope we continue to entertain people through our work and make Pakistan proud.”

She also emphasised the importance of unity within the entertainment community. “The strength of the Pakistani community is remarkable, and I hope we continue to stand by and support each other in whichever way we can.”

Hania also paid tribute to the women in the entertainment industry who paved the way for future generations. “I will do everything in my capacity to make it easier for others to come,” she added.

Author Chetan Bhagat says the obsession with fame is harming Bollywood actors' mental health

Highlights:

  • Bhagat says some stars can’t enjoy meals if not photographed.
  • Author calls Bollywood a “drug house of fame.”
  • He left movies to focus on writing and moved to Dubai.
  • Sees industry as insecure, with friendships mostly transactional.
  • Believes creating stories gives him more satisfaction than films.

Chetan Bhagat says fame in Bollywood can take a serious toll on mental health. The bestselling author, whose novels like 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che! became major films, explained that many actors and directors struggle when their work doesn’t succeed. “There are actors who, when going to a restaurant, if they aren’t recognised, don’t enjoy the meal. They wonder, ‘No one came to click photos?’ Can you imagine what a sick life that is?” he said.

Bhagat added that the pressure of attention and constant public scrutiny can worsen insecurity. He recalled seeing stars fade over time, their mental health affected by the highs and lows of fame.
