Actor Karanvir Bohra thanked External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj for helping him get a temporary passport to gain entry into Russia.

Karanvir was detained in Moscow on Wednesday due to passport damage. He shared the news with a Twitter post: "So bummed... Waiting at Moscow airport because my passport is a little damaged. They are contemplating to deport me back to India."

When the concern reached the Indian Embassy in Moscow, they worked towards solving the issue.

"Special thanks to Sushma Swaraj and all the officials for the prompt actions taken to help me. I have been given a temporary passport and visa for my stay. I am extremely happy to be in Russia for attending a festival that celebrates and honours Indian films," he added.
