Earlier, two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu shared a post on X on Saturday night, expressing fear and concern over the Israel-Iran conflict. She described hearing interceptions overhead and seeing disturbing visuals, saying it was frightening to witness such events in Dubai.

Sindhu thanked those who checked in on her and assured them that she is currently safe but stranded in Dubai.

In a post on X, Sindhu wrote, "It's hard to process what's unfolding right now. Hearing the interceptions overhead and seeing how quickly everything has escalated is honestly terrifying. So many disturbing videos are coming to light, and this is sadly the reality of what is happening. Dubai is a city I deeply love, a place that has always felt safe and full of life, which makes this moment even harder to comprehend."

PV Sindhu prayed for the safety of affected families and said that she was safe now, stating, "To everyone who has been messaging and checking in, thank you; it truly means a lot. I am safe right now, stuck here in Dubai with my team, and we are doing okay as the situation around the war with Iran continues to evolve. The Airport is chaotic, with many families stranded and waiting, all of us just hoping we get past this soon. Moments like these remind you how fragile normal life really is. Praying for safety and peace for everyone affected," she added.

It's terrifying to imagine being stuck in a foreign country during such tensions. Her post was so heartfelt. Glad the embassy stepped in quickly. Prayers for peace in the region.

While I'm glad Sindhu is safe, this highlights a bigger issue. Our government needs better contingency plans for mass evacuations. What about the thousands of Indian workers in the Gulf? Are they being looked after with the same urgency? Just a thought.

Dubai is like a second home to so many Indians. To see it affected by a conflict happening elsewhere is unsettling. Hope the situation de-escalates. Get well soon, Sindhu! Our champion 🏸

This is the real "soft power" of India. When our people are in trouble, the government machinery works. Kudos to the embassy staff working round the clock. Jai Hind.

Her father must have been so worried. As a parent myself, I can't imagine the stress. Thank God she is safe and in contact. This news brings some relief.
