Tollywood star Subhashree Ganguly and her son are reportedly stuck in Dubai. Escalating tensions in West Asia have begun affecting civilians and have also disrupted international travel, which has left several passengers stranded.
Subhashree and her son Yuvaan are currently in Dubai, and flight suspensions and airspace restrictions have halted their return to India. Subhashree has not shared anything on social media yet. The Gulf airspace faces temporary closures and uncertainty has continued for travellers across the region.
Subhashree had travelled to Dubai with her Yuvaan, during his school break. Subhashree's husband, filmmaker Raj Chakraborty, has confirmed to a local entertainment portal that Subhashree and Yuvaan are safe and are adhering to official guidelines. UAE authorities have reportedly advised residents and visitors to stay indoors as a safety measure.
Recently, Jannat actor Sonal Chauhan had also reached out for help and she had revealed that she is stranded in Dubai. "Flights have been cancelled, and no clear way to return to India. I’m seeking the government’s guidance and support to help me get back home safely. I would be deeply grateful for any assistance from the Government and guidance for a safe return @meaindia @india_in_dubai," Sonal wrote.
