KARACHI (Web Desk) – Indian activist and actor Nandita Das has said that she will not be attending the Karachi Literature Festival (KLF) as she has been unwell since Wednesday.
The actor shared the news on her Facebook post, citing her health reasons for not being able to attend the seventh edition of KLF, scheduled to begin from February 5 (Thursday).

Das went on to explain that her decision to not attend the event was not in any way related to the Anupam Kher fiasco, who was allegedly denied Pakistani visa to attend the literature festival in Karachi.
“I have been unwell since yesterday and unfortunately I am unable to go Karachi. I felt terrible letting down the organisers but it’s beyond my control. I had offered to do the sessions via Skype to make sure one can participate and the intent with which the Lit Fest is organised, is upheld,” read the post.
