'Badmaash Company' star Vir Das would love to work in Pakistan

Netflix comedian expressed his desire to host a stand-up show across the border

Indo-Pak relations have always been tense. With Bollywood films being banned in Pakistan to local artists prohibited to work in India, the issues are ongoing. Nevertheless, that doesn’t seem to stop artists from wanting to work across the border.

Previously, actors Govinda and Irrfan Khan have revealed their want to work in our nation and now comedian Vir Das has said that he would love to do a show in Pakistan. However, the Delhi Belly actor went on to share that he hasn’t actually been offered any work though, reported Business Standard.

Das took to Twitter to express his desire, "I am just going to put this out there because I get asked it a lot. Yes, I'd love to do a show in Pakistan but I have never been offered one. And ironically, I get told to go there every day… mostly by my own people though."
