India lifts ban on Pakistani channels #india|maskwala review
🎬In October 2025, India lifted its digital ban on several Pakistani drama channels and celebrity Instagram accounts, signaling a quiet shift in cultural policy. The ban had been imposed earlier in the year following the Pahalgam attack, which escalated tensions between the two nations. Without any formal announcement, Indian users began noticing that previously blocked Instagram profiles and YouTube channels of Pakistani celebrities were accessible again.
Among those reinstated were popular figures like Yumna Zaidi, Ahad Raza Mir, Mawra Hocane, Danish Taimoor, Dananeer Mobeen, and Azaan Sami Khan. However, some high-profile accounts—such as Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Wahaj Ali—remained restricted, raising questions about the criteria used for the selective unblocking.
The move sparked mixed reactions. Fans celebrated the return of beloved Pakistani content, while critics pointed to the lack of transparency and consistency. Though no official statement was issued, the development was interpreted by many as a gesture toward easing cultural hostilities and rebuilding people-to-people connections. Whether this signals a broader diplomatic thaw or remains a symbolic gesture is yet to be seen.🎬
