Spelling out her fear, Ruchira said, “When he told me about the situation, I panicked, especially after the turn of events. Nowadays, so much is happening around the world…so ‘darr toh laga hi rehta hain.’ On top of that, war situations, flight scenarios, and what not! It’s sad. You might not be in a serious situation, but still, you do get anxious. I was very worried yesterday, but now everything is fine and I’m happy that he is home.”
The actor said that her husband was in Dubai to address a global summit. “His entire schedule was very tight, and then while returning, this happened. He was very tired, so the situation was surely exhausting.”
On Monday night, Viineet posted: “I am at Dubai Airport. 9:23 pm Dubai Time. Immigration done. Waiting at the gate for my flight (airplane emoji). Fingers crossed.”
After landing in Mumbai, Viineet told OXBIG NEWS NETWORK, “We were clueless around 10 PM. Then we got the news that the boarding would start. The flight took off a little late, but everything is fine. Emirates Airlines and Dubai airport staff helped all.”
