Arshi Khan: I'm not Pakistani, but Indian, though have roots in Afghanistan

Actress Arshi Khan says she is at times bullied on social media as people misunderstand her to be a citizen of Pakistan.
She says, "I have a hard time when people unnecessarily target and troll me while questioning me over my citizenship. They misunderstand me to be a citizen of Pakistan who is living in India. And for this confusion at times I have suffered on my work front too. These are such sad experiences of life. I want to make it clear once and for all that I am an Indian in every way. I own all Indian government approved identity cards. I am not from Pakistan, but very much from India itself."
Arshi reveals about having roots from Afghanistan. She adds, "I'm an Afghani Pathan, and my family belongs to the Yusuf Zaheer Pathan ethnic group. My grandfather had migrated from

Afghanistan

and was a jailer in Bhopal. My roots are in Afghanistan but I am an Indian citizen," she said.
