Bollywood star Malaika Arora's mother, Joyce Arora, is currently stranded in Dubai. The 72-year-old was stuck after her flight was suspended amid escalating tensions across parts of West Asia. The disruption comes after Iran's reported retaliatory attacks on several US allies in the region, including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, following American and Israeli strikes on Iranian territory on February 28.

Talking about being stranded in Dubai, Joyce told ETimes that she was scheduled to return to Mumbai on March 3; however, she received a notification informing her that her flight had been cancelled due to the ongoing conflict. She revealed, "I must say, I feel safe here. In fact, I could see the missiles being intercepted in the sky with my own eyes. It was frightening, but the Dubai military is doing a fantastic job."
