As tensions are rising across the Middle East in the wake of ongoing Israel, US- Iran war, Dubai has faced the repercussions of drone strikes from Iran. While several Indians are stuck in Dubai, actor-racer Ajithkumar is one among them.
Of late, he has been spending a lot of time in the middle eastern city to focus more on his racing endeavours. However, on Sunday, he was looking to return to Chennai when the situation escalated across the Middle East.
Ajith’s manager, Suresh Chandra, told DT Next, “Ajith sir was scheduled to return to Chennai on Sunday. But 30 minutes before he could reach the airport, a government alert through a message informed that the airport would be shut down due to the current situation in the gulf region. This has made him reschedule his plans. The good news is that he is safe and sound.”
Ajith has been bringing accolades for India in the professional racing circuit and was also a recipient of the Padma Bhushan award last year. His industry colleagues R Madhavan, Silambarasan, Nayanthara, Vignesh Shivan, and Sivakarthikeyan were among the celebrity ensemble that cheered for him in person.
