Dubai, March 1: Sonal Chauhan, best known for her role in Jannat, is stranded in Dubai due to flight cancellations caused by escalating tensions in the Middle East.
What’s Happening
The actress posted on her Instagram Stories, appealing directly to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for assistance.
In her message, she wrote, “Hon’ble PM @Narendramodi ji, I’m 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.”
Background
Numerous passengers are affected at Dubai International Airport. Videos circulating online depict crowded terminals and anxious travellers awaiting updates.
The disruptions stem from recent Israeli and US strikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities, prompting threats of retaliation and airspace closures in Iran and Iraq. This has impacted key air routes, forcing airlines to cancel or reroute flights.
Air India and IndiGo are working with authorities, monitoring developments, and advising passengers to check official updates. Flights will restart once safe paths reopen.
