KARACHI (Dunya News) – Indian actress Pooja Bhatt turned down the offer of designers to attend and walk the ramp in Fashion Pakistan Week.
Preparations for her appearance in the fashion week were ongoing after her arrival in Karachi on Thursday.
Sources have reported that the actress has refused over the current security situation in the country.
While talking exclusively to Roznama Dunya correspondent, Fashion Pakistan Council chairman Deepak Perwani has said that Pooja has also previously walked the ramp in FPW but she refused this time as she wanted to stay away from the media in such unfavorable conditions.
Deepak revealed that they had celebrated the Diwali festival in a simple way due to the recent tragic incidents in the country.
However; he hosted dinner at his residence in honour of the actress which was attended by close relatives, friends and fashion and showbiz celebrities.
Pooja also celebrated Diwali at Deepak Perwani’s residence and was wished by the Pakistani artist fraternity.
The artists while expressing solidarity with the Hindu community also delivered them Diwali greetings through video messages.
Pooja Bhatt said on the occasion that before independence Muslims and Hindus used to celebrate their festivals together in the sub-continent.
“I was overjoyed over the Diwali ceremonies being held in Pakistan and the coverage that media provided to them. After celebrating this Diwali in Pakistan I have realized that we should rejoice in each other’s festivals as it is requisite for humanity,” she pronounced.
