However, Nimra Khan resisted the attackers while nearby onlookers did not come to her aid.
In the viral video, the actress said that the armed men could have shot her during the pursuit, but she managed to stop a passing car.
“If women aren’t safe in Pakistan, should we really be celebrating Pakistan Day? Can anyone confidently say that their sister, wife, daughter, or mother is safe in Pakistan? The answer, sadly, is no,” Nimra Khan said in the viral video.
