Bengali actress Subhashree Ganguly is currently stranded in Dubai along with her son Yuvaan after escalating tensions in the Middle East led to airspace disruptions. Her husband, filmmaker and politician Raj Chakraborty, has reassured fans that both mother and son are safe despite being unable to return to India as scheduled.
What Happened?
Subhashree had travelled to Dubai on February 28 for a short vacation with her son. However, shortly after their arrival, military strikes by the United States and Israel targeting Iran intensified regional instability.
As the situation escalated, explosions were reported in several Iranian cities, including Isfahan, Qom, Karaj and Kermanshah. The developments triggered widespread flight cancellations and precautionary airspace closures across parts of the Gulf region.
Raj Chakraborty Shares Update
Speaking about the situation, Raj Chakraborty confirmed that Subhashree and Yuvaan are staying indoors and following official safety advisories. He stated that they were initially scheduled to return to Kolkata on March 5, but travel plans now remain uncertain due to the evolving circumstances.
While they are safe at present, the family is understandably anxious about when normal flight operations will resume. Reports also suggest that communication has been limited at times, with advisories discouraging unnecessary phone usage during sensitive security situations.
Airspace Closures and Regional Impact
The international conflict has reportedly led to temporary airspace shutdowns in parts of the region. Major landmarks such as Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab and Dubai International Airport were placed under heightened security measures. Parts of Abu Dhabi and certain US-linked installations in neighboring Gulf nations were also reportedly on alert.
Authorities have confirmed injuries in some regions, with fatalities reported in conflict-affected zones. The situation remains fluid, and governments worldwide are closely monitoring developments.
Other Indian Celebrities Affected
Several Indian public figures are reportedly facing similar travel disruptions. These include actor Ajith Kumar, actresses Sonal Chauhan and Esha Gupta, as well as badminton champion PV Sindhu. Many are said to be complying with official directives and staying indoors until further notice.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Office has advised British nationals in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE to remain indoors following reports of missile activity and regional strikes.
Current Status
As of now, Subhashree Ganguly and her son remain safe in Dubai. Raj Chakraborty’s statement has brought relief to fans, though uncertainty continues over when commercial flights will fully resume. The family is closely monitoring updates while awaiting clearance to travel back to India.
Authorities continue to urge residents and visitors in affected regions to follow official advisories and avoid spreading unverified information.
