Having safely returned to India, Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha, who recently found herself amidst the ongoing political and military conflict between Israel and Palestine, has recounted her harrowing experience in the war-stricken region.

However, her trip took an unforeseen twist as the conflict intensified, leaving her stranded with film crew and Israeli co-actors.
In an Instagram post, Nushrratt Bharuccha described her tumultuous journey, stating, “The last week will forever be etched in my memory…a rollercoaster ride of emotions, the final 36 hours of which will be the most unforgettable and daunting of my life.”
She further added, “We were woken up by the deafening sounds of bombs going off, a blaring siren, and complete utter panic as we were all rushed down into a ‘shelter’ in the basement of our hotel. It was only when we emerged from in there, after what seemed like an endless wait, that we learnt that Israel was under attack. Nothing could have prepared us for this news.”

In the above shared Instagram post, the actress thanked the Government of India, the Indian Embassy in Israel, and the Israel Embassy in India for her safe return home. She then told her followers how we should be grateful to live in a country like India where we are safe.
