Earlier, in a video posted also posted on his social media, Shamoon gave a detailed account of their whereabouts.

“We heard the conference of Asad Umar today and came to know that PIA would bring back stranded Pakistanis from Britain and Canada. Since we’re stuck here for the past 15 days. We’re 21 people here, Sara Loren, Mohib Mirza, Sanam Saeed, Iman Syed and 14 people from the crew and the expenses have been increasing,” stated Shamoon.

“We know that PIA will begin operations to bring back stranded Pakistanis from England and Canada but there has been no mention of Thailand as yet. I would like to request the foreign ministry, Asad Umar and also PM Imran Khan to look into the matter,” urged the actor.

Adding further, Shamoon stated that alongside them, a total of 100 Pakistanis or more had been stranded in Thailand ever since the shut down was imposed. Shamoon also said that his team was in a healthy condition and maintaining social distancing alongside good hygiene and were ready to quarantine themselves once they returned to Pakistan.
