When the concern reached the Indian Embassy in Moscow, they worked towards solving the issue. Karanvir is in Moscow to attend MacCoffee Bollywood Film Festival as a chief guest. "My passport was damaged, as soon as the Embassy got to know, the Indian Embassy, the Embassy in Moscow and the team of Maccoffee Bollywood Film Festival Russia went out of their ways to help me out," Karanvir said in a statement. PICS! After celebrating Teejay Sidhu's birthday, BB 12 contestants Karanvir, Saba & Somi visit Ajmer Sharif "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.
