The situation worsened following the Israel-US-Iran conflict, which led to the closure of airspace over Iran, Dubai and parts of the war-torn region, including Iraq. Airlines were forced to cancel or divert several flights, affecting major international routes and leaving passengers waiting for updates at airports. Ajit Kumar was reportedly traveling between Saudi Arabia and Dubai for his professional motorsports events when the ban came into effect.
His manager had earlier clarified that the actor was safe in Dubai after returning from the airport due to flight suspension.
Apart from Ajit, several Indian film celebrities including Sonal Chauhan, Esha Gupta, Vishnu Manchu, Lara Dutta and Nargis Fakhri also shared updates on social media to reassure fans that they are safe despite the disruptions.
Ajit Kumar, who has been spending significant time in Dubai due to his passion for motorsports, had earlier talked about his move to the city. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor said that he made the move to focus on motorsports because many of the major circuits are located in the region.
