Congress leader and actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha on Saturday met Pakistan President Arif Alvi in Lahore.
"Indian politician Shatrughan Sinha met President Dr. Arif Alvi in Lahore today. They discussed the importance of building peace bridges across the border," the President of Pakistan said in a tweet.
According to the tweet, Sinha "endorsed" concerns expressed by Pakistan President, about the restrictions in Kashmir.
