“When we went to Tbilisi to shoot for a film, the Indian crew was allowed to go, but I was stopped. It was because of my passport. I was from Pakistan. They did full investigation. They let me go only after an interview,” said a teary-eyed Saba.

The actress also added, “That’s the day I realised where we stand. We talk dinners, parties and what not but the ground reality is completely different.” 

The video evoked a few reactions from the Twitterati. One of the Internet user also asked Saba to apply for an Indian citizenship.

“Even Shah Rukh Khan was stopped in USA and interrogated. Multiple times. This is nothing but Islamophobia in that country. Nothing to do with passport,” read a tweet.
