The ongoing conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has sent shockwaves across the Middle East, leaving many Indians stranded in the UAE. Actress Lara Dutta Bhupathi, who was in Dubai with her 14-year-old daughter Saira, shared her harrowing experience in a video on social media.
Lara and her daughter were in Dubai for three years, where Saira was training with an elite tennis coach. However, when the conflict broke out, they found themselves alone in the city as Lara's husband Mahesh was away in London for work.
The UAE government's instructions to stay indoors were clear, but Lara decided to take a chance and drive to Fujairah with her daughter to catch a flight out. The journey was fraught with danger, and they had to navigate through roads to reach the airport.
At the airport, they faced a harrowing wait as many flights were being cancelled. However, they managed to board a flight, which took off just as they could see a huge orange ball of fire in the distance.
Lara is clear that her daughter will have some amount of trauma after living through this experience. She has been in touch with her friends and colleagues in the UAE and is doing her best to support them during this difficult time.
Lara's emotional video has resonated with many, and she hopes that people will follow the instructions given by the government to stay safe. She also wants to spread a message of hope and non-judgmentalism, and prays for sanity to return to the world quickly.
