Anupam Kher was stopped at the Srinagar airport and was not allowed to visit NIT. He was asked to return to Delhi as there were apprehensions of law and order problems.
Kher reached the airport on Sunday morning and was scheduled to visit NIT to "give moral support to the students".
As i return from Srinagar airport, my heart is heavy but i have hope that things will change & become better. I remain an #EternalOptimist.
