In the midst of the Israel-Palestine conflict, Indian actress Nushrratt Bharuccha found herself in the spotlight. The conflict erupted following a surprise attack by the terrorist group Hamas on Israel on Saturday, resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives and numerous civilian injuries. During this challenging period, Nushrratt Bharuccha was trapped in Israel but managed to return to India safely on a Sunday. Following her return, she had not made any public appearances, but today, she posted a video expressing her gratitude to the Indian and Israeli governments.
Taking to her Instagram account, Nushrratt shared, “I’m back home and safe, and I want to thank all of you for your support. Just two days ago, I woke up to sirens and bomb blasts in my hotel. We were evacuated to a basement and then to a shelter. It was an experience like no other. Today, waking up in the peaceful surroundings of my home, I realize how fortunate we are.”

She continued, “This is a significant realization. We are privileged to live in safety in India. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the governments of India and Israel for ensuring my safe return from the war-torn conditions.” Nushrratt also expressed her thoughts and prayers for the people affected by the conflict, hoping that peace would be restored soon.
Nushrratt had originally traveled to Israel to attend the Haifa International Film Festival. However, as the conflict began, she found herself stranded there. With the assistance of the embassy, she managed to return to India via Dubai. On Sunday, photos and videos of the actress at the Mumbai airport went viral, showing her visibly shaken.
