Update: Anupam Kher expresses outrage on Twitter at Pak visa denial snafu

Today it was revealed that Anupam Kher would in fact not be attending the Karachi Literature Festival, to be held on February 5th, because he had not received his visa. India media reported that Kher's visa was rejected by the Pakistani High Commission, but that's only the beginning of this saga.

Amidst claims that the Pakistani High Commission in Delhi had never received his visa application Kher lashed out at the whole debacle on Twitter.

Pakistani officials have yet to issue an statement on the matter.

Things escalated fast.

Kher also spoke about the incident to a local news channel, saying: "The Karachi Literature Festival approached me about two months ago... I've heard the Pakistan High Commission is saying they hadn't received my visa, if they hadn't received it how did the other 17 people invited get their visas? I am saddened by this."

And he isn't done talking.
