HINDUSTAN TIMES (October 9, 2023)

Nushrratt Bharuccha was stranded in Israel amid the ongoing conflict. The actor was attending a film festival when the Palestinian terror group Hamas attacked. Her team was ‘unable to connect’ with Bharuccha for a while, but she is safe and landed in Mumbai on Sunday afternoon. In a video, she is seen asking the media to give her sometime to process the situation before she comments on the same.

Earlier, her publicist said in a statement, “We have managed to get in touch with Nushrratt and with the help of the Embassy, she is being safely brought back... We are relieved and thank god that she is safe.”

The 38-year-old was in Israel for the 39th Haifa International Film Festival, where her film Akelli was being screened. Incidentally, in the film, Bharuccha plays the role of a woman trapped in a combat zone, who battles for her life to reach home safely.

Over the weekend, Hamas carried out an unprecedented attack on Israel by firing rockets and infiltrating its borders. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the country was “at war”.
