The incident

This week Nimra Khan made a shocking revelation that she narrowly escaped a kidnapping attempt in DHA Karachi.

The actress shared a video message on Instagram disclosing the details of the alleged kidnapping attempt.

“Yesterday, what happened to me, can you send your wife, your daughter, sister, mother or any other out safely?” a visibly emotional Nimra stated in the video.

“No you can’t. I can tell you, I can guarantee you,” she said.

“Yesterday, I was standing near Ramada, waiting for my car, when three men came and tried to kidnap me… I had phones in my hand and bags on my shoulder. I was waiting for my family that was stuck in traffic. It was raining; those men held me at gunpoint and were dragging me to their car when I started to scream but no one listened,” she shared horrifying incident.

“Four guards were sitting in front of me [but] no one listened. I protected myself,” she added.

She revealed, the while attempting to escape, her feet got hurt.

“I pushed the bike… and ran. I could have been shot from the back.”

She mentioned that she approached a moving car and asked the family in it for help, who along with the staff of the hotel rescued her.

Nimra went on to add that how can she say that she is an actor and a taxpayer.

“I am not safe here, I should hire guards for myself from that tax money instead, to protect me from such incidents in future. Now, I understand why people keep guards with them, we need guards! No wonder people are settling abroad. We need protection in Pakistan.”

“I can say I am a proud Muslim, but proud Pakistani? No.” she concluded.
