Actor Sonal Chauhan is stranded in Dubai after flights were cancelled due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. She has reached out to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi via Instagram, seeking assistance to return home safely. Chauhan expressed her predicament of being “stranded” with no updates on when flights would resume, and appealed for government support during the ongoing crisis.
The situation has affected many passengers at Dubai International Airport, who are left in uncertainty following the sudden flight cancellations. Videos online reveal crowded terminals and anxious travellers awaiting official announcements. The disruption comes after a significant escalation in West Asia, where coordinated strikes by Israel and the United States on Iranian sites led to retaliatory threats and airspace closures across several countries, including Iran and Iraq. This has severely impacted international flight routes.
Airlines such as Air India and IndiGo are working closely with aviation authorities, monitoring developments keenly and advising passengers to stay informed through official updates. Flight services will resume when safe corridors are cleared, and dedicated help desks have been set up at airports to assist those affected by the travel chaos.
