According to details, the Moroccan-Canadian actor was refused to perform “in view of the global situation and with the aim of maintaining the foreign exchange reserves,” said the official statement issued by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs of Bangladesh on Monday.
The statement referred to the central bank’s ‘restrictions on dollar payments amid dwindling foreign exchange reserves’ of the country, which slipped to ‘$36.33 billion as of October 12 – enough to cover roughly four months of imports – from $46.13 billion a year earlier’.
Reportedly, the Bollywood celeb was scheduled to perform as well as hand out awards in the ceremony organized by Women Leadership Corporation.
