Shaneira Akram schools Hania Aamir after bike ride video goes viral

Former cricketer Wasim Akram’s wife, Shaniera Akram, has called out actress Hania Aamir over a viral bike ride video in which the star was seen dancing on the road without wearing a helmet.

The clip, which Hania herself shared on Instagram, prompted Shaniera to remind people of the life-threatening consequences of ignoring basic road safety rules. She stressed that celebrities with large followings have a responsibility to set a good example.

Sharing the video on her own Instagram story, Shaniera expressed disappointment at how openly such traffic violations are displayed, even by high-profile personalities.

“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.

She added, “Celebrities have the power to influence. It breaks my heart when this is abused.”

Drawing on her experience as a mother, Shaniera highlighted that young fans are heavily influenced by what they see online. She stressed that if such influence encourages dangerous behavior, those sharing the content should take responsibility.

Shaniera also revealed that she has personally witnessed lives lost due to similar stunts, which is why Hania’s video struck such a nerve. However, she clarified that her intention was not to paint Hania in a negative light.

She maintained that if her criticism can make a person realise their mistake, then it’s worth it.

"It’s not rocket science,  it’s illegal and it’s stupid,” she remarked.

She concluded by urging bike riders to wear helmets, not just for their own safety, but for the sake of their loved ones, including parents, friends, and family members.
