Joyce Polycarp, mother of television personality Malaika Arora, is currently stuck in Dubai amid the US-Iran conflict. Speaking with Times of India, Joyce recalled witnessing missiles being intercepted in the sky, adding that 'it was frightening.'
Joyce said that she travelled to Dubai to celebrate her elder sister's birthday. 'I came here to celebrate my elder sister’s birthday, and just a couple of days later, we celebrated mine as well. I was supposed to return to Mumbai on March 3, but we received a notification that our flights had been cancelled due to the war,' she said.
Despite the ongoing tense situation, Joyce added that she is feeling safe in Dubai. 'I must say, I feel safe here. In fact, I could see the missiles being intercepted in the sky with my own eyes. It was frightening, but the Dubai military is doing a fantastic job. My daughters are in Mumbai, and they know I am in safe hands. They call me three to four times a day, and we are constantly in touch. Now that some operations have resumed, I’m hoping to return to Mumbai soon,' she added.
