Putting his concern into words, the Qismat actor penned on his official Instagram handle, “The situation in the UAE has been weighing heavily on my heart. My wife and my 6-year-old daughter are there, and as a husband and father, it's impossible not to feel emotional and tense during times like this. (sic)”
Sharing what his little one told him while putting on a brave face amid these uncertain times, he added, “‘Papa, I will hide under my bed if something happens. I'm 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.”

About the US–Israel attack on Iran
The Middle East is witnessing intense bombing, drone, and missile strikes after Israel carried out strikes against Iran, reportedly killing its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Iran retaliated with intensified strikes at US air bases across Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. This is being described as the closest the world has come to a world war since the last one, which ended eight decades ago. Things are spiralling out of control, with UK airplanes hovering over Middle Eastern skies as part of a defence exercise.
