The city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) witnessed missile attacks launched from Iran in retaliation for strikes the country faced from the United States and Israel earlier on Saturday. Iran reportedly targeted US airbases in the Middle East as part of its response. In the aftermath, Dubai shut down its airspace as a precautionary measure, leaving many stranded in the country. Among them is Bollywood actress Sonal Chauhan, who has sought help from the Indian government for her safe return to India.

She wrote, “Hon’ble PM narendramodi ji, I am currently stranded in Dubai due to the ongoing crisis, with flights cancelled and no clear way to return to India. I respectfully seek the Government’s guidance for a safe journey home. Grateful for any support extended.”
