Yup. For the month following my visit to KHI last year I got questioned at customs & immigration in both Australia and NZ. Once Pakistan dropped off the list of countries visited in the past 30 days - no problem.
I haven't been to BOM but imagine the airport similar to DEL, and KHI is worse than DEL as an airport. As a place to visit & stay - great. Just keep an eye out for political unrest.
