Anupam Kher rejects visa offered by High Commissioner of Pakistan

New Delhi: Bollywood actor, Anupam Kher’s visa for Pakistan has taken a new turn when  High Commissioner of Pakistan, Abdul Basit called the actor and expressed his regret over the denial of visa.

According to the media reports, Basit said that miscommunication and confusion had led to the denial of visa and asked Kher to submit visa papers so that he could visit Pakistan.

However, Kher has declined the offer, saying that he had already given those dates away for some other function.
Anupam Kher was denied a visa to take part in the Karachi Literature Festival. What peeved the actor was that 17 other Indians, invited to the event, were granted visas.

The climb down by the Pakistan High Commission is intriguing as they had maintained all along that they are yet to receive visa application and passport of the Bollywood actor so as to process his request.
