Middle East Crisis: Subhashree Ganguly, Son Unable to Return from Dubai

Bengali actor Subhashree Ganguly and her young son Yuvaan are currently stranded in Dubai amid escalating tensions in the region following reported Iranian attacks, her family confirmed on Sunday.

Subhashree had travelled to Dubai with her son for a short vacation, arriving in the city on Saturday. However, the security situation reportedly deteriorated soon after, with local authorities issuing advisories in certain areas asking residents to remain indoors.

Her husband, filmmaker and Trinamool Congress MLA Raj Chakraborty, said the actor and their son are staying at a hotel in Palm Jumeirah. Speaking to PTI, he acknowledged concerns over their safety, particularly as their young son is with her.

“They reached Dubai on Saturday for a vacation. Since then, the situation has become complicated. Because Yuvaan is with her, the concern is even greater. They are staying in Palm Jumeirah. There was an explosion reported near their hotel, and authorities have advised people not to step out,” Chakraborty said.

He added that friends and relatives based in Dubai are extending support to Subhashree and Yuvaan during the tense situation. “Our friends and relatives there are taking care of them. We are worried, but not panicked,” he said.

Chakraborty is currently in Kolkata with the couple’s daughter, Yaalini. When asked whether the family had sought government assistance to facilitate their return, he said they have not approached authorities so far and are hopeful that the situation will stabilise soon.
