Career and Personal Life
Professionally, Namrata’s last acting role was in the 2004 Hindi film ‘Rok Sako To Rok Lo’. Nearly twenty years later, she returned to the film industry, this time as a producer for the 2022 bilingual movie ‘Major’, released in Telugu and Hindi. On the personal side, Namrata married her ‘Vamsi: The Warrior’ co-star Mahesh Babu in 2005 after dating for several years. The couple is blessed with two children, Sitara and Gautam Ghattamaneni.

Pakistani actress Hania Aamir is loved for her cheerful nature as seen on social media and hit performances in dramas like ‘Mere Humsafar‘ and films such as ‘Parwaaz Hai Junoon’. But off-screen, she’s a huge Bollywood fan – and not just any fan, but a full-on Shah Rukh Khan admirer. In fact, she once made a heartfelt plea, saying it’s “very sad” that she hasn’t met him yet.
Hania’s request to SRK
Back in November 2024, Hania was in Toronto and while speaking to Indian journalist Faridoon Shahryar, she was asked whether she had ever met Shah Rukh Khan. The answer melted hearts. Hania looked straight into the camera and said, “Shah Rukh agar aap yeh dekh rahe hai, toh mujhse mil lein please. Nahi, mein nahi mili hu. Yeh bohot sad baat hai. Mere dimaag mein toh humein dost hona chahiye.” (Shah Rukh, if you are seeing this, then meet me please. It’s sad we haven’t met. In my head, we should be friends.)Hania Aamir’s Instagram gets banned in India
Sadly, the chances of Hania meeting Shah Rukh any time soon may be low due to growing political tension between India and Pakistan. On April 22, a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, took place, killing several Hindu pilgrims. Following this tragic incident, the Indian government began cracking down on content and platforms that it said were spreading misinformation and negative narratives.
According to ANI, a government source stated, “On the recommendations of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Government of India has banned the 16 Pakistani YouTube channels, including Dawn News, Samaa TV, ARY News, and Geo News, for disseminating provocative and communally sensitive content, false and misleading narratives, and misinformation against India, its Army, and security agencies in the backdrop of the tragic Pahalgam terror incident.”
Shortly after this move, Indian users noticed they could no longer view some popular Pakistani celebrities’ Instagram profiles. Hania Aamir and Mahira Khan were among the first to be affected. Their profiles now show as unavailable to people in India.
