Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, March 4 (NationPress) Actress Lara Dutta has disclosed that she is currently stranded in Dubai with her daughter Saira due to the escalating turmoil in the Middle East. Her husband, Mahesh Bhupathi, is absent as he is away on business.
While engaged in a shoot, Lara suddenly heard loud explosions and witnessed missiles being intercepted.
Describing the past few days as overwhelming, she stated in an Instagram video, "There are numerous fighter jets overhead and loud booms. Although we reside in a villa in a secure neighborhood, the windows shake, doors rattle, and it feels unsettling. Yet, I have not felt unsafe at all."
Expressing admiration for the UAE government, she continued, "I must commend the UAE government for their exceptional handling of the situation. I can confidently say that we feel truly cared for and protected, irrespective of our nationality. We feel valued and significant.
As a resident, I appreciate the measures taken to ensure our safety. I am astonished that my gardener continues to come daily, tending to the lawn and plants, while delivery riders are still operating."
Lara mentioned that they are exploring flights back to India, but options are limited.
Maintaining a positive perspective, the 'Partner' actress added, "We will find a way. I was in India during the India-Pakistan conflict and witnessed how our nation safeguarded us then. The same is true here."
She concluded her clip with a heartfelt message, stating, "No civilian should ever have to live in fear or be caught in such circumstances."
Ultimately, Lara expressed her hope that common sense and sound judgment will prevail.
