Twitter has a field day over Anupam Kher being denied Pakistani visa

Anupam Kher is clearly having a bad week on Twitter

First it was the Padma Bhushan Award and now it's the Pakistani visa rejection, veteran actor Anupam Kher always manages to attract attention on social media (mostly for all the wrong reasons). This time around, however, Twitter is having a field day over Kher's visa rejection.

Kher took to social media to express his sadness over not being able to attend the Karachi Literature Festival as the Pakistani government denied his visa, twice.

Have been informed that Pakistan MoFA has denied permission for my visa to participate in the Karachi Literature festival.

Sad to have been denied visa on second time in a year. While around 17 people will participate in the Karachi Literature Festival as guests.

Why Anupam Kher did not get Pakistan visa:
1) He is not part of the Indian State
2) He is an actor.
So Islamabad calls him non-state actor!

Anupam Kher got the Padma without applying for it, he thought procedure for a Pakistani visa is similarly done !!!

If Pakistan government would've seen how Anupam Kher betrayed India as Inspector Giridhar in Hum, they would've instantly granted him a visa
