The porn star, who boasts a follower base of 1 million people across the globe, sparked discussion last year after her visit to Iran. The Shia majority nation had ousted American influence after the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Iran also do not have a good reputation when it comes to rights for women and girls in the country. 

Wright informed about her trip to Afghanistan via a post on the social media platform Instagram where she posted pictures showing a plane from national carrier Ariana on a runway, a tiled ceiling from the Western city of Herat, news agency Associate Press (AP) reported. But she was not seen in the photos and neither has she responded so far on the topic.
