Sonal Chauhan stuck in UAE amid Middle East crisis, flight cancellations: 'Dubai is safest place in the world'

Dubai: Indian actress Sonal Chauhan on Saturday reassured fans that she was safe after being stranded in Dubai due to flight disruptions triggered by rising tensions in the Middle East.

“To everyone messaging me and checking on me, thank you. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to reply to everyone. Your concern means a lot. I am safe, and I assure you the authorities are doing their best to keep everyone safe,” the actress posted on Instagram.

Earlier she had appealed for assistance to return to India as multiple flights were cancelled following airspace closures across parts of the region.

“Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji, I am currently stranded in Dubai amid the ongoing crisis. Flights have been cancelled and there is no clarity on when travel will resume. I seek the government’s guidance and support to help me return home safely,” she wrote. However, she clarified that she's safe in Dubai and was impressed with the country's resilience.

Chauhan is best known for her role in Jannat.

Indian carriers including Air India and IndiGo have said they are monitoring the situation closely and coordinating with authorities. Passengers have been advised to check official updates, with flights expected to resume once safe air corridors reopen.
