Actress Nimra Khan, recognized for her role in Geo TV’s drama serial ‘Umme Ayesha,’ has shared details of a terrifying experience where she escaped a kidnapping attempt.
Nimra posted a video telling her followers,
“I am Muslim proudly but I am sorry being Pakistani I dnt knw what should I say.”
She begun: “Assalamu Alaikum, the nation is still alive, right? However, the purpose of this video is not to praise this country. What happened to me yesterday was horrible; do you want your sister, daughter, or wife to experience the same fate? It is not safe to send any of your girls outside of Pakistan; I guarantee you that they are not safe here. You people understand that it is ridiculous to celebrate August 14th when girls are still unsafe in Pakistan.”
“Yesterday, I was standing near Ramada, waiting for my car when the three men came and tried to kidnap me, they harassed me. I had mobile, bag and I was waiting for my family, it was raining, those men held me on gun point were dragging me to their car but no one heard me. I did my own protection, I pushed him and started running, he had guns, and he could open fire on me. How can I say that I am safe in this country where I pay taxes when I stepped in front of a passing car? The family and Ramada staff saved me. I see why people have guards with them now; we need guards, which is probably why so many people are moving abroad. I am not safe here, and I can hire guards with my tax money,” the Umme Ayesha actress added.
