On Wednesday, Karanvir Bohra, who was recently seen in the Salman Khan-hosted controversial reality show Bigg Boss 12, was temporarily detained at the Moscow airport (where he flew to attend a Bollywood film festival as a chief guest) for travelling with a damaged passport. So, the actor took to social media to tweet about his plight and shared how the authorities were thinking about sending him back to India. Responding to KVB's tweet, the Indian Embassy in Moscow was quick to come to the actor's aid and wrote him back, "Embassy officials are in touch with Russian authorities regarding the issue." Well, now KVB fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and the officials have helped him get a temporary passport and visa on short notice. Karanvir Bohra Detained at Moscow Airport; Hina Khan, Vikas Gupta, Karan Patel, Hiten Tejwani React
