The actress’s concerns reflect the broader uncertainty across the region following the escalation of hostilities on February 28, 2026, involving the U.S., Israel and Iran, which has disrupted commercial air travel.

As a result, thousands of Indian nationals have been stranded, prompting the Indian Embassy in Kuwait to hold emergency meetings with airlines such as IndiGo and Air India Express to coordinate repatriation efforts.
