Dubai: Among several Indians stranded in Dubai amid escalating conflict in the Middle East are a number of celebrities.
Among them is actress, singer and model Sonal Chauhan.
The ‘Jannat’ actor, who had shared some pictures from her Dubai trip on Instagram a few days ago, revealed on Saturday night that she is currently stranded there as the airport is shut and flight operations completely suspended after missile strikes by the US and Israel on Iran triggered retaliatory strikes on the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
Sonal took to Instagram Stories and her X handle to appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the government to step in and help secure her safe return to India.
“Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji.. I am currently stranded in Dubai amid the ongoing crisis. Flights have been cancelled and no clear way to return to India. I’m seeking the government’s guidance and support to help me get back home safely. I would be deeply grateful for any assistance from the Government and guidance for a safe return @meaindia @india_in_dubai,” Sonal wrote on social media.
In Dubai visiting family tonight. Missiles visible in the sky. The loud interceptions shook our home and frightened little Ayra.
Praying for peace. No child anywhere should grow up hearing the sound of war above their roof.
