As of today, the following prominent Pakistani actors and celebrities remain inaccessible to Indian users on platforms like Instagram and X:
When Indian users look for these accounts, they still get the message:
"Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content."
Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir, Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar, Shahid Afridi, and Fahad Mustafa are still banned in India, with their social media profiles still geoblocked for Indians.
