‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ actor Salman Khan and director Kabir Khan have come forward to help Geeta, who has been stranded in Pakistan for the last 15 years. Pakistani activist Ansar Burney also contacted Indian government and media to reunite the girl with her family across the border.
Ansar Burney tweeted, “Salman Khan offers to help Geeta. Asks director Kabir Khan to find out how he can help Geeta meet her family”.
‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ director Kabir Khan is trying to spread Geeta’s story to different media outlets in order to find her family in India.
He said, “We came to know of Geeta’s case just two days before and it was extremely surprising. There are far too many resemblances, little girl, who can’t speak, lost across the border. So, when I received calls from newspapers and channels, I thought we should talk about it. If we can help in any way to bring attention to it, to spread more information across newspapers and channels, then it’d be really good for the case,” Indian media reported.
Kabir Khan also said that Salman Khan was also surprised hearing about the story. “He too said the same thing that we should talk about it through tweets and other mediums. Because our film is still running in the theatres and has been successful, so if we use this platform to talk about the case, then this news will spread farther.”
Minister of External Affairs of India Sushma Swaraj stated in a tweet to Burney that she had directed Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan, to head to Karachi and meet with Geeta.
