<p>It all began on Tuesday when Bollywood actor Anupam Kher took to Twitter to announce that his Pakistani visa had been denied.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Have been informed that Pakistan MoFA has denied permission for my visa to participate in the Karachi Literature festival.</p>

<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<p>He went on to express his displeasure over the same and posted a series of tweets:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sad to have been denied visa on second time in a year. While around 17 people will participate in the Karachi Literature Festival as guests.</p>

<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Has my visa been denied because I speak about India's rich tradition of tolerance or I am a Kashmiri Pandit who may expose Pak terror nexus?</p>

<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<p>However, in a turn of events, the Pakistani High Commission in Delhi denied having rejected Anupam Kher's visa. They said that he had not applied in the first place. Kher&nbsp;announced a press conference to "prove the Pakistan High Commission's" lie.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Will be presenting all proofs/documents to prove Pakistan High Commission's Lie that i didn't apply for visa. Press Con at 5.30 in my school</p>

<p>Twitterati had a field day taking a dig at Anupam Kher over the hilarious twist in story. Here are some of the funniest reactions:</p>
