Iranian cultural official backs return of actress Golshifteh Farahani from the US, saying she corrected her mistake during the Berlinale. Javad Shamqadri, an art advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, says Farahani's appearance at the Berlinale Film Festival suggests she regrets her actions and has corrected her mistake. Shamqadri made these comments after rumors that Iran had banned the young actress from returning to the country over her appearance in a Hollywood production opposite Leonardo Di Caprio.
