Karachi( The COW News Digital)Pakistani television actress Hira Somroo has stirred up social media after claiming that “jinns” (supernatural beings) inhabit the scenic northern region of Naran, sharing what she described as her personal paranormal experience during a recent podcast appearance.
Hira Somroo, known for her roles in popular Pakistani dramas, made the revelation while speaking on a private podcast, where she discussed a range of topics — from showbiz experiences to unusual incidents she encountered while traveling.
Responding to a question from the host, Hira said under oath that she firmly believes Naran is home to supernatural entities. “I swear, there are jinns in Naran — I am 100 percent sure. That place has a very heavy presence,” she stated.
The actress went on to describe a strange incident during her stay at a hotel in Naran, though she refrained from naming the establishment. “The door of my room kept opening and closing by itself. It happened several times during the night,” she recalled, adding that there was no logical explanation for the repeated movement.
Hira also mentioned that most hotels in Naran don’t have ceiling fans, which makes every sound in the quiet mountain surroundings more noticeable. “I could clearly hear everything — even twice the flush in the bathroom went off by itself,” she said, laughing nervously while insisting that the experience was real.
The actress’s comments immediately went viral on social media platforms, with fans divided between believers in the supernatural and skeptics dismissing the claims as coincidence or imagination. Many users shared their own eerie experiences from Pakistan’s northern areas, while others joked about adding “ghost tours” to the region’s tourist attractions.
Hira Somroo’s statement has reignited Pakistan’s age-old fascination with jinn folklore — a theme deeply rooted in South Asian culture and Islamic belief. Some religious commentators noted that such phenomena are often explained by natural or psychological factors, while others maintained that jinns indeed exist but rarely interact with humans.
As the clip from the podcast circulates widely online, Hira’s story continues to spark debate — blending celebrity intrigue, spiritual belief, and the mysterious allure of Pakistan’s northern valleys.
