Renowned podcaster Adnan Faisal recently disclosed that actress Hania Aamir demanded Rs2 million to feature on his podcast.
While speaking on a private TV channel, Faisal, who has conducted around 500 podcast episodes featuring political, social, and entertainment personalities, emphasized that he has never paid any guest to appear on his show.

During the discussion, he mentioned that he approached Hania Aamir for an episode, but she requested a hefty fee of Rs2 million. Although the amount may not be significant for a star of her stature, Faisal chose not to invite her, as he believed it could set a precedent for compensating guests.
“If I start paying one celebrity, others will also expect payment, leading to complications,” he explained.
Faisal pointed out that many actors willingly participate in his podcast without financial demands, questioning why only a select few should be compensated while others contribute their time for free.
Additionally, he addressed past controversies, including remarks made by actress Saima Qureshi regarding women’s earnings. He clarified that Qureshi, a senior actress and the owner of the clothing brand SQ, had shared her personal views during the podcast.
He also commented on the entertainment industry, criticizing the prevalence of extramarital affairs among married male actors and urging for a change in such practices.
As of now, Hania Aamir has not responded to these claims.
