Indo-Canadian YouTube sensation Lilly Singh (better known as Superwoman) has run into visa trouble with the Indian consulate in Toronto.  As per Singh, she was initially assured of a

one-year visa but has now been told that it would be valid for three months. An annoyed Singh took to social media to express her grievances, tagging who else but twitter saviour and Union

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. She has also called Indian consulate in Toronto “the worst place on earth”. The vlogger is set to visit India on a three-city tour to promote her

self-help book ‘_How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life_’. SINGH SHARED HER BITTER EXPERIENCE WITH THE CONSULATE IN A SERIES OF TWEETS:  > Love india but gotta say that the

her that she will get a one-year-visa. The official also requested her to click a picture together.  Singh said: _“So you’re going to make me fly back here in three months again, and pay for

this all over again, and this is not cheap, it’s hundreds of dollars… just so you can make money and make this as difficult as possible? When yesterday you wanted a picture with me,

everyone was very, very nice.”_ > @SushmaSwaraj This is Lilly Singh aka @IISuperwomanII, this was her > experience at the Indian Consulate, please take some action towards > this
