Danish also introduces Jyoti to his wife, as seen in the video and the two women exchange greetings. Jyoti then praises the hospitality of Pakistan’s Embassy to which Danish says, “This is how Pakistanis are.”
Jyoti then proceeds to meet other guests at the party, including other officials of the Pakistani embassy. To almost everyone she meets, Jyoti expresses her desire to visit Pakistan and hopes that she will get a visa to make that happen.
“I also want to go (to Pakistan),” she says at one point during the video. “Hopefully I’ll get a visa this time,” she adds.
Jyoti also meets some Chinese officials at the party and tells them jokingly, “I want to visit China…give me a visa. I will apply this time for a Chinese visa, please allow me.”
She also introduces one more official of the Pakistani Embassy in the video and says, “It is not possible to get an entry into the embassy without him. Whenever I have visited three to four times, he is the one who registers my entry,” indicating that the party was not her first visit to the embassy.
By the end of the video, she meets Danish again and tells him how happy she was to be invited to the party.
