The gorgeous Nimrat Kaur (who shot to fame with her remarkable acting skills in the film The Lunchbox) will be seen playing the character of an Islamabad-based Pakistani girl in the American television series Homeland. Interestingly, her forefathers belonged to the cities of Rawalpindi and Lahore. Therefore it’s no surprise that when she was asked about her Pakistani connection, she said, “I’m dying to go to Pakistan.” She also labeled our country ‘a victim of circumstances’.

Well, not so Nimrat K. Come to Pakistan and you’ll know why.
