"Don't be a bridge for panic": Vivek Oberoi sends message to UAE residents amid Middle East tensions

Actor Vivek Oberoi appeals for calm in the UAE and India amid regional tensions, praising UAE leadership and urging reliance on verified information.

"Don't be a bridge for panic. Seek the source and only rely on verified media. - Vivek Oberoi"

Dubai, March 2

Actor Vivek Oberoi, who has been living in the UAE for several years, has shared a message amid the ongoing tensions in parts of the Middle East.

With concerns rising due to the US-Iran situation and airspace restrictions in the region, the actor reached out to people living in the UAE through his social media.

Oberoi took to his X account and addressed his "extended family in the UAE," asking everyone to stay calm and avoid panic. He reminded residents of the values of peace and unity that the country stands for, even during difficult times.

In his post, he wrote, "To my extended family in the UAE, I know the headlines can feel heavy right now, but remember the foundations of this land are built on peace, resilience, and an incredible spirit of togetherness."

"Even though we hail from over 200 different nations, we are part of an incredible community that looks out for each other as one big family. I salute the exceptional leadership of the UAE Government, @modgovae, and the dedicated armed forces of the UAE. Their fearless spirit and tireless defense keep every resident safe and secure, and the timely alerts issued by @NCEMAUAE are our greatest tool for preparedness," he added.

The actor also sent a message to people in India, asking them not to spread fear and to rely only on trusted information. He urged everyone to stay calm and thoughtful during this period.

He wrote, "To those back home in India: Let's keep everyone in our prayers. Don't be a bridge for panic. Seek the source and only rely on verified media. Choose empathy above all else. The truth will always be the strongest shield we have. Sending peace and light to every home in the Emirates."

Vivek's message comes at a time when several Indian celebrities are currently in the UAE due to flight disruptions caused by the situation in West Asia. Airspace restrictions followed recent military action involving the US and Israel, as well as responses from Iran, affecting travel across the region.

Good on him for speaking up. My brother is in Dubai and the family WhatsApp group was flooded with fake forwards. His point about "don't be a bridge for panic" is spot on. Verify before you share, people!

While the sentiment is nice, I find it a bit rich coming from someone who can probably leave on a private jet if things get really bad. For the common Indian expat worker, the anxiety is very real about jobs and safety. The message is correct, but the messenger feels a bit disconnected.

I'm an Indian living in Abu Dhabi. Seeing this from a well-known face actually helps. The local authorities here are very competent and communicate clearly. The panic often gets imported from back home via social media. Oberoi is right to address that side of it.

"Seek the source" - this is the most important line for all of us in India with loved ones abroad. Instead of sharing every unverified tweet, check the official @NCEMAUAE or @IndembAbuDhabi handles. Thoughtful message.

It's a tense situation but UAE has always been a safe haven. Praying for the safety of all our people there. Hope the tensions de-escalate soon so flights can normalize and everyone can breathe easy.
