Hania Aamir is one of the most celebrated stars in Pakistan, who also receives so much love and appreciation across the border.

The 28-year-old diva is not only known for her powerful performances in dramas and films, but she also has a very strong influence on social media.

The Anaa actor, with over 19 million followers, is the most followed icon of Pakistan on Instagram.

Recently, the Janaan actress added another feather in her cap, becoming a national goodwill ambassador for UN Women.

The organisation announced on Instagram, “Aamir will use her platform to raise awareness, inspire action, and amplify the voices of women and girls across Pakistan.

Together with the actor, the organisation hopes to work towards a future where “every woman and girl can realise her full potential — free from violence, discrimination, and inequality”.

She is placed among a prestigious list of goodwill ambassadors, with three others holding the position from South Asia — activist Muniba Mazari, Indian actor Farhan Akhtar, and Indian tennis pro Sania Mirza.

On the international front, goodwill ambassadors for UN Women include Emma Watson, Nicole Kidman, and Anne Hathaway.

The Mere Humsafar star is the second Pakistani who receive this title by UN Women after Mazari was appointed in 2015.

Other Pakistani actors who are part of different UN agencies include Fawad Khan for the UN Development Programme, Mahira Khan for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Shehzad Roy for the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and Saba Qamar for the UN agency for children, UNICEF.
