Nora Fatehi might perform for 40 minutes in Dhaka

However, the visit has been cancelled, due to the denial of permission by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.

This information was announced in a circular signed by the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Mohammad Khaled Hossain, today.

According to the circular, Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi cannot be given permission to participate in the Global Achievers (Women Entrepreneur Award) programme which was supposed to be held at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center. The circular says that the current global condition and the dollar crunch is the reason behind this decision.

She was supposed to perform in a total of three outfits—while also distributing awards at the programme. All of this was supposed to be within just 40 minutes.

Earlier, her visit was cancelled in December at a private award ceremony, because of the same reason.
