US-Pak DJs at Sunburn denied visa; gig canned
The Yousaf sisters performed twice in India in 2014 but looks like it won’t happen this year.
Seems like the anti-Pak wave is nowhere close to fading off. Bearing the brunt of it recently were two sisters — Jahan Yousaf and Yasmine Yousaf — from Illinois who form the popular dance duo Krewella. The two were to perform at the Sunburn festival to be held in Pune this week, but were denied a visa due to their Pakistani heritage. The Yousaf sisters performed twice in India in 2014 but looks like it won’t happen this year. They took to social media to express disappointment to their fans.
“It is with heavy hearts that we inform you that due to our Pakistani heritage our visas have been repeatedly denied and we will not be able to enter your country for Sunburn,” it read.
