Flight suspensions leave Sonal Chauhan stranded in Dubai; reaches out to PM Modi

Sonal Chauhan has appealed to the Indian government for help after getting stranded in Dubai amid ongoing regional tensions that have led to widespread flight cancellations.

The actress posted a message directed at Narendra Modi, explaining her predicament: “Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji, I am currently stranded in Dubai due to the ongoing crisis. With flights canceled and no clear way to return to India, I respectfully seek the Government’s guidance for a safe journey home. Grateful for any support extended.”

Air travel disruption amid Middle East crisis

The disruption comes as airspace across parts of the Gulf region was temporarily restricted following military strikes by the United States and Israel targeting sites in Iran. These precautionary measures have grounded flights, leaving thousands of international travellers, including Indian citizens, stranded.

Chauhan’s appeal quickly gained attention online, with many social media users urging authorities to act urgently to ensure the safety of citizens abroad. Others suggested contacting the Indian diplomatic missions for support.

Embassy steps in

The Embassy of India, Abu Dhabi confirmed it is coordinating with UAE authorities and airline operators to assist Indian passengers affected by the airspace closures. The embassy assured that it is closely monitoring the situation and that local authorities and airlines have pledged full cooperation to help stranded travellers.

As the situation continues to evolve, the timeline for Chauhan and other stranded passengers’ return to India remains uncertain.
