Upset Over Visa Delay, Lilly Singh AKA Superwoman Tweets To PM Modi & Sushma Swaraj For Help

Darpan News Desk IANS, 11 Apr, 2017 11:11 AM

    While Lilly Singh aka Superwoman was all excited to come to India on a tour to release her book How To Be A Bawse, she was also annoyed because of the delay in Visa procurement process.

     

    The internet sensation took her grievances to Twitter seeking help from PM Narendar Modi and Swashma Swaraj in the same regard.

     
     

    Sushma Swaraj has earned praises for around the world for using her social media presence to rescue Indian in distress. The external affairs minister responds to the tweets almost immediately. And perhaps that is why Lilly thought her grievances will be heard and solved by her soon.

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

    A fan also tweeted a video of her talking about her time at the consulate. In the over-2-minute-long video, she described the staff at the consulate as 'rude and unprofessional' and how she was yelled at for even asking a question. She said her request for a long-term visa was denied by the consulate even though she frequently travels to India. She claimed she has had to pay a different fee for the same business visa every time and the consulate just 'makes up' rules.

     
     
     
     

    The consulate in Toronto tweeted to Lilly Singh stating a business visa was issued to her in an hour. She replied saying she was promised a one-year visa by the staff but was given only a 3-month one.

     
     

    Foreign Affairs Minister took notice of her tweets on Saturday and asked her to contact the Indian High Commissioner in Canada, Vikas Swarup. Soon, Mr Swarup reached out to Ms Singh.

     
     
     
     
     
     

    Superwoman is coming to India on a three-city tour – Mumbai (April 19, Shanmukhananda Hall), Hyderabad (April 20, Shilpakala Vedika) and New Delhi (April 21, Sirifort Auditorium), to promote her self-help book ‘How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life’.
