Amy Virk's family stuck in Dubai, Punjabi singer expresses faith in UAE government: 'I appreciate their efforts and they are working tirelessly'

Dubai: Punjabi singer and actor Amy Virk has shared an emotional message regarding the safety of his family currently in the United Arab Emirates amid regional tensions. His wife and six-year-old daughter are in Dubai, and the singer revealed the personal toll the situation has taken on him.

In a heartfelt statement posted on Instagram, Virk said:

"The situation in the UAE has been weighing heavily on my heart. My wife and my six-year-old daughter are there, and as a husband and father, it's impossible not to feel emotional and tense during times like this. 'Papa, I will hide under my bed if something happens. I am a strong girl papa, don’t worry.' is not what a father wants to hear. Every news update feels personal. No matter how strong we try to be in public life, at the end of the day we are family people."

He added that his concern extends beyond his own family:

"At the same time, I know there are so many other families going through the same fear and anxiety. My prayers are not just for my loved ones, but for every person affected."
