The ongoing war in the Middle East between Israel and Iran has impacted the entire Gulf region. The incident has affected a large number of Indians residing there. Due to heavy bombing and unrest, many are stranded, and several celebs have also shared videos of war sounds from the region. Amid this, actor Ammy Virk has expressed his distress as his wife and six-year-old daughter are presently in the UAE amid the ongoing tension in the region.

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.”

Ammy Virk further expressed his gratitude to the UAE government and authorities for ensuring the safety of residents. Praying for the safety of all those stuck in the region, the Saunkan Saunkne actor hoped that this phase would come to an end soon. “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 single person affected. Let's continue to pray for peace, stability, and the well-being of everyone there. May this phase pass soon, and may all families feel secure and protected,” he concluded the post.

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.

Earlier, actress Sonal Chauhan revealed that she is stranded in Dubai after flight operations in the city were suspended. Actor Shardul Pandit, who currently lives in Dubai, gave a first-hand account of the situation and requested everyone to remain calm. Apart from them, actors like Nora Fatehi, Esha Gupta, and Erica Fernandes have also expressed concern due to the ongoing situation.
