TV actor and Bigg Boss contestant Karanvir Bohra is among the host of celebrities who have taken to social media to condole the demise of former Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, who passed away in New Delhi on Tuesday, 6 August, after suffering cardiac arrest.
Bohra expressed his sadness at the news of her passing away and recalled an instance when Swaraj came to the rescue when he was stranded in Russia because of an issue with his passport. “Shocked to hear that @SushmaSwaraj ji passed away. A woman who worked hard for the betterment of our country, she never made any Indian feel alienated when in trouble in a foreign land. (Like in Russia, if it wasn’t for Sushmaji, I would have been impounded”,” he tweeted.
The Bigg Boss 12 contestant was scheduled to attend a film festival in Russia in January when he was detained at Moscow International Airport. He tweeted about his predicament saying that the authorities were considering deporting him back to India since his passport was damaged. Karanvir later posted a video thanking then Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj and the Indian embassy for helping him get another temporary passport.
