She revealed that unlike the average Indian’s common perception, people of Pakistan are a friendly and a hospitable bunch. They welcome Indians with an open mind and treat them as guests.

Elaborating on her stay in the country, Bhaskar went on to say that she and her friend roamed around in Lahore and visited several places without facing any difficulties. When Pakistanis came to know about Swara and her friend’s nationality, they displayed a level of courtesy that she barely expected and that received special treatment from Pakistani people.
