00:00 Post-continuing Israel-Palestine conflict concerning reports have emerged from the world
00:06 of Bollywood.
00:07 Actress Nushrat Bharucha is presently facing a challenging situation as she is stranded
00:13 in Israel.
00:14 A member of her team has confirmed the distressing circumstances.
00:18 She travelled there to participate in the Hype Up International Film Festival.
00:23 Her team contacted her at around 12.30 pm on Saturday.
00:28 During that communication, she was in a basement and in a safe condition.
00:32 The team is diligently working to ensure her safe return to India.
00:37 Nushrat was featured last in the film Akeli, which portrays the tale of a young Indian
00:42 woman trapped in the midst of Iraq's civil unrest, facing challenges to make her way
00:48 back to home amidst the turmoil.
00:51 Ironically, the storyline of the film has now mirrored the actress's own real-life situation.
00:57 However, according to the latest update, Nushrat's mother Tasneen Bharucha has confirmed that
01:03 her daughter is coming back and is safe now.
01:06 Speaking about her current status, the actress's team said, "We have finally managed to get
01:12 in touch with Nushrat and with the help of the Indian Embassy, she is being safely brought
01:17 back home.
01:18 We did not get a direct flight, so she is coming on a connecting flight home.
01:22 For her further safety, more details cannot be shared but as soon as she lands in India,
01:27 we will inform you.
01:29 We are relieved and thank God that she is safe on her way back to India."
01:34 After an unprecedented attack by Palestinian militants in Israel on Saturday, the Ministry
01:40 of External Affairs of India issued an advisory for all Indian nationals in Israel, urging
01:47 them to be vigilant and adhere to safety protocols advised by local authorities.
01:53 According to the Embassy of India Tel Aviv, there are about 18,000 Indian citizens in
01:59 Israel as of February.
02:01 They are primarily employed as caregivers of Israeli elders, diamond traders, IT professionals
02:07 and students.
02:08 Amidst the backdrop of this personal ordeal, it is essential to highlight that on Saturday,
02:15 the Palestinian group Hamas initiated a massive assault on Israel, unleashing a barrage of
02:21 5,000 rockets in a mere 20-minute span.
02:26 This relentless attack has tragically resulted in over 100 fatalities and more than 900 people
02:33 sustaining injuries.
02:34 Furthermore, Hamas has asserted that they have taken Israeli soldiers and civilians
02:40 as hostages.
02:42 In response, Israel's counter-offensive has led to 198 casualties and approximately
02:48 1,500 individuals being wounded.
