Pakistan High Commission sources added that Anupam Kher seems to be unaware of the current process. He should show the acknowledgment slip if he had applied for visa, the sources added while making it clear that Pakistan was upset with Kher. This comes just days after Kher’s name appeared in the list of Padma awardees.
Last weekend, Kher and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor were involved in a war of words on Twitter over the veteran actor’s comment that he is scared to openly say he is a Hindu.
