Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3: Breaking Borders, Breaking Stereotypes
When I first heard that Sardaar Ji 3 was going to star Hania Aamir alongside Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa, I was immediately curious. A Pakistani actress headlining a big Punjabi film? Not a small thing. And honestly? I loved it. The Indo-Pak crossover felt refreshing rather than awkward — nothing felt forced, and it was honestly nice seeing Hania Aamir in a lighter, more playful role for once.
A Natural Fit in a New Space
We’ve seen Hania crying her heart out in countless Pakistani dramas, but here she was — bubbly, confident, and hilarious. Her comedic timing landed better than I expected, and what really surprised me was how well she handled the Punjabi accent. It didn’t feel put on or exaggerated — it felt lived in. It matched her energy and actually made the character more believable. I don’t know why no one's cast her in a Ramadhan romcom yet because this was such a natural fit!
Chemistry That Didn't Feel One-Sided
Let’s be real — sharing screen space with Diljit Dosanjh is no small feat, especially when Neeru Bajwa is in the mix too. But Hania held her own. She wasn’t just a side piece or an add-on — her presence had weight, and her chemistry with Diljit was adorable. There was a comfort between them that made it fun to watch, without being cringey or try-hard. They were equals in the frame, and the film gave both leads space to shine.
Short Hair, Big Statement
One thing I loved was seeing Hania with her natural short hair. We’ve gotten used to seeing her with long extensions in dramas and fashion shoots — because God forbid a Pakistani woman not have waist-length curls, right? But here, she showed up as she is, and guess what? Still stunning. Her outfits were modern, fun, and fit the Punjabi film vibe perfectly. The styling leaned into playful rather than glamorous, and I think that made her look even more relatable.
Expressions, Energy & Stage Presence
Hania’s acting is expressive, and this role let her use that fully. Whether it was the funny bits or emotional moments, her face did a lot of the talking. There’s a looseness to her acting here — like she wasn’t trying too hard, just genuinely enjoying herself. It showed. She carried her scenes with confidence, and her screen presence never felt like a mismatch, even next to two massive Punjabi cinema icons.
The Viral Concert Moment – Real Chemistry?
We kind of already knew she had good chemistry with Diljit — remember that moment from his UK concert where he brought her up on stage? That clip went viral for a reason. It felt like a teaser to the on-screen charm we ended up getting in this film. It’s also probably one of the reasons their pairing didn’t feel random — there was already a bit of familiarity and hype around them, and the film just capitalised on it.
Banned in India, But It’s Their Loss
Of course, Sardaar Ji 3 hit a rocky patch with its release being banned in India due to the current political climate. Which is unfortunate, because this film had the potential to be enjoyed on both sides of the border. Watching Hania thrive in a different industry, with a different audience, is exciting to see. And honestly, if this is the direction she’s heading in, I’m all for it.
