The veteran actor was all praise for traditional Lahori food, especially fish that he had at a local restaurant. He also said visa policy between the two countries should be relaxed.

He said both India and Pakistan should follow the example of Europe in terms of visas.

Seema Kapoor also praised the hospitality of Lahorites, saying the couple “traded love in Lahore and are going back with bags full of love and affection”.
