Mumbai: Marathi actress Vishakha Subedar has made an emotional appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, urging immediate intervention to bring back her son and other Indian nationals stranded in Kuwait amid escalating tensions and airspace disruptions.
In a video shared on Instagram, Subedar said her son had travelled to London but was delayed in Kuwait due to flight disruptions. Over the past four days, flights have reportedly been cancelled owing to the closure of airspace, leaving several passengers stranded.
“My son has been stuck in Kuwait for the last four days. The situation there is getting worse. We are seeing it in the news, and he is experiencing it himself. He is falling ill,” she said in the video message, appealing to authorities to arrange their return to India at the earliest.
Subedar acknowledged that the Indian Embassy in Kuwait had arranged accommodation for stranded passengers in a hotel. However, she stressed that the next crucial step was ensuring their safe return home. Drawing a parallel with the recent evacuation of Indian citizens from Dubai, she requested similar swift action for those in Kuwait.
“Many parents and families are waiting for their children. The government must take care of our children and bring them back as soon as possible,” she said.
Following her appeal, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reportedly contacted Subedar and assured her that efforts were already underway to bring stranded Indians back safely. According to sources, Shinde informed her that coordinated operations were in progress and that her son would return home safely.
The development comes amid growing concern among families of Indian nationals stranded in parts of the Middle East due to US-Iran-Israel Wr. Authorities are said to be closely monitoring the situation and working with central agencies and embassies to facilitate safe evacuation wherever necessary.
Subedar’s appeal has resonated widely on social media, with several users expressing solidarity and urging swift government action to ensure the safe return of all affected passengers.
