Lara Dutta returning to India from Dubai with her daughter, said- I felt as if I had become a part of the film ‘Airlift’.

Lara Dutta Returns from Dubai: Bollywood actress Lara Dutta was one of the Indian celebrities who recently got stuck in Dubai during the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. During this time, he also shared a video on social media, in which he expressed his concern and restlessness amid the increasing tension in the Middle East. It is a matter of relief that now Lara and her 14-year-old daughter Saira Bhupathi have returned safely to Mumbai.

Lara was stuck in Dubai amid the war

Actually, when tension was increasing rapidly in the Middle East due to Israel and Iran, Lara Dutta was in Dubai. Her daughter Saira was taking training from a renowned tennis coach there, so Lara was living in Dubai for some time. During this time, her husband and former tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi was in London for work. In such a situation, the suddenly increasing tension and news of attacks worried Lara.

Lara told in an interview given to Hindustan Times that the place where she was living was very close to Jebel Ali Port. This area was in the news due to reports of continuous attacks. The atmosphere was becoming more frightening after hearing news of explosions and alerts every day.

Decision taken to return to India amidst fear

Looking at the situation, Lara decided that now she should return to India with her daughter. But as important as it was to take this decision, it was equally risky. He told that instead of taking the flight directly from Dubai, he had to drive two hours to Fujairah, from where he got the flight. Interestingly, a day before that, there were reports of attack on Fujairah port and oil refinery also.

Lara admitted that this journey was quite scary. She jokingly said that she felt as if she had become a part of a movie story. He even joked with his co-star Akshay Kumar that he felt like he was in the second part of the movie “Airlift”.

Explosions were heard even at the airport

Lara told that when she reached the airport, the atmosphere there was not completely normal. Fighter planes were seen flying in the sky and sometimes loud explosions were heard from far away. He said that at that time he had only one concern in his mind that somehow he had to reach home safely with his daughter. Lara also praised the airlines and local administration, who helped people in difficult situations.

Why did you share the video on social media?

While in Dubai, Lara Dutta also shared an emotional video on social media. In this video he talked about the situation there and his fears. However, she later told that she usually avoids posting such videos so that people do not spread unnecessary fear. But this time she did so because she was about to embark on an uncertain and risky journey. For a moment the thought also came to his mind that perhaps this video could be his last message. Therefore he considered it necessary to share his experiences and feelings.
