Sonal Chauhan requests PM Modi for help during Dubai crisis. Sonal has sought assistance from Prime Minister Narendra Modi after she was stranded in Dubai amid the ongoing turmoil and crisis. In a post she shared on X, she wrote to the PM, "Hon'ble PM @narendramodi ji, I am currently stranded in Dubai due to the ongoing crisis." Sonal Chauhan had mentioned that all flights were suspended, and that she was left with no option to travel back to India. In her post, she politely sought the government's support. She posted, "With flights canceled and no clear way to return to India, I respectfully seek the Government's guidance for a safe journey home. I would be grateful for any assistance extended."

Hon'ble PM @narendramodi ji,
I am currently stranded in Dubai due to the ongoing crisis, with flights cancelled and no clear way to return to India. I respectfully seek the Government's guidance for a safe journey home
Grateful for any support extended????@MEAIndia @IndiainDubai

— SONAL CHAUHAN (@sonalchauhan7) February 28, 2026

Within minutes, her social media post went viral and netizens were quick to share their reactions. One user explained the need to be empathetic towards those stranded. His post read, "In times of crisis like the current Iran Dubai flight suspensions amid Middle East tensions mocking stranded Indians seeking government help isn't strength, it's a lack of empathy. It's disheartening to see the negative comments when fellow citizens are simply asking for safety and support. Nations are defined by how they protect their people. When leadership issues advisories and steps up with support (Op Sindhu style), it reflects responsibility and Seeking help is not weakness. Let's amplify compassion, not criticism. #EmpathyOverCriticism"

Next few comments read, "Stay in touch with @IndembAbuDhabi. Praying for your safety and well-being", "@DrSJaishankar We must bring these kind of folks back if they can't get civilian flights as airspace must have been closed for civilian aircraft but not sure if military or rescue aircraft might be allowed as well so wait and watch", and "Situation is quite normal here in Dubai. But we must follow safety instructions shared by our embassy and stay vigilant. It's not the right time for taking flight. Let's wait for the better situation."

However, rest slammed the actress for asking PM Modi for help. One user posted, "Oh you silly girl, you're not alone there there are thousands, lakhs of people around you. And one of my friends is there too. He didn't even tag Modi ji or create any drama he's just sitting quietly, peacefully, without panicking. So you should also just sit quietly and relax. At least wait until the war is paused or over. What if Iran shoots down the plane while you're flying back to India? You'll only come back to India if you actually survive, right? So maybe calm down and stop the panic show." Another comment read, "You dont even know that when in trouble you have to contact the embassy ? What's the point of coming here and tagging the Prime minster.. Talk about entitles.. In trouble .. straight tweet the PM of the country. And should do what ? Drop everything and come running to help you ? Grow a brain and go to the embassy or find a safe spot and stay put. Jeeezzzz these people are soo freaking entitled !!!"

The Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi too issued a statement and assured that they are in touch with UAE authorities and airlines to help stranded Indian passengers. Their statement read, "The Embassy and Consulate are in touch with the UAE authorities and airlines for taking care of the Indian passengers stranded at the airports in UAE due to temporary and precautionary airspace closure. The UAE government and airline authorities have reassured full support."

Meri Zindagi Hai Tu episode 32: Will Hania Aamir-Bilal Abbas’ romantic Pakistani drama release in India today? Here’s what we know

Pakistani romantic drama Meri Zindagi Hai Tu episode 32 has been making headlines with its impressive storyline and chemistry. This popular romantic drama of Hania Amir and Bilal Abbas Khan is now reaching its last phase. In the story, the lives of Ayra and Kamvar are taking new turns, so the curiosity of the audience has also increased. The makers have also hinted that special twists will be seen in the upcoming episodes.

When will Hania Amir's Meri Zindagi Hai Tu release in India?

Meri Zindagi Hai Tu's episode 32 is scheduled to be released in India on Saturday, 28 February 2026. The show is trending both in India and Pakistan. Fans are eagerly waiting for the new season of the show. The main reason for the popularity of the serial is the brilliant chemistry and emotional story of both lead actors. Although there was criticism about some twists, it did not have much effect on the popularity of the show.

Why does Meri Zindagi Hai Tu air once a week?

The telecast time of the show has been changed due to Ramzan. Now this serial airs only once a week, every Saturday. Its new time in Pakistan has been fixed at 10:30 pm (PKT). Due to this, the audience has to wait a little longer for their favorite show.

In Pakistan, episode 32 of Meri Zindagi Hai Tu will be released first on the official YouTube channel of ARY Digital. But ARY Digital's YouTube content is banned in India. So Indian viewers have to resort to other options to watch the episodes.

Fans in India can watch the episodes on the YouTube channel named Top Pakistani Dramas, where the show is usually uploaded. Apart from this, the episode is also available on Dailymotion after some time of its telecast in Pakistan. Like the previous episodes, this time too, it is expected that episode 32 will come online in India by around 11:30 pm (IST).

When is Hania Aamir's Meri Zindagi Hai Tu's last episode?

As far as the finale is concerned, according to reports by Filmibeat, the show might end with its last episode after Eid. However, the makers have not made any official announcement yet. But as the story is nearing its end, Episode 32 is being considered extremely important. This episode will set the tone for the story ahead and prepare the audience for the finale, and audiences will know whether Kameyar will forgive Ayra.

Vipul Shah informed that the Division Bench of the Kerala High Court has lifted the 15-day stay order imposed earlier. He said, "Today Kerala divisional bench has dismissed the stay that we received yesterday. They have cleared the way for the film's release. Our shows have already started opening. The film has been made with much hard work. I believe the biggest proof of our film's authenticity is that the Kerala court lifted the stay order. Had it been a lie, the court would have watched it and wouldn't have taken this decision. So I am deeply grateful to the Justice of the Kerala court,"

What did the Kerala High Court say on the film's release?

A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court, comprising Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice P.V. Balakrishnan, stayed the order of the single judge staying the release of the film for 15 days. The court said that the single judge had given the verdict based on just a few clips without watching the film in its entirety, which is not correct.

The court also said that when the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) gives a certificate to a film, it is presumed that all rules and guidelines have been followed. The court said that if there is any law and order problem with the release of the film, it is the responsibility of the state to handle it. At the same time, the court made it clear that the entire film should be judged on the basis of its overall impact, and not by looking at some parts.

O Romeo Worldwide Box Office Collection: Shahid Kapoor's romantic drama witnesses GROWTH, crosses Rs…; is it a hit or a flop?

O Romeo Worldwide Box Office Collection: Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj's film O'Romeo was supposed to be the big release of February. This is the duo's third film together, so the audience had a lot of expectations. The special thing was that this time Vishal Bhardwaj moved away from his serious drama style and adopted a more action and masala style. However, the film did not receive the desired response upon release.

Shahid Kapoor's O Romeo day-wise box collection

The film hit the theatres on February 13 and collected Rs. 8.50 crore on the first day. The second day saw a good increase in the collection, but the earnings were affected due to the India-Pakistan T20 match on Sunday. In the first weekend, the film collected Rs 30 crore nett in India and Rs 45 crore worldwide. The start was good, but then the pace slowed down.

After the first week, the film's collections have dropped drastically. The daily earnings dropped below Rs 5 crore, and there was no big jump in the second weekend as well. In two weeks, the film collected around Rs 62 crore nett in India and around Rs 98 crore worldwide. The second week saw a drop of 69% in collection. It is believed that it can touch the 100 crore mark, but its pace has now slowed down a lot.

O Romeo Box Office Collection Day 9

According to reports by Sacnilk, on the third Friday, the 15th day of release, the film collected Rs 1.15 crore with 8% drop from the previous day. The total collection of the film stands at Rs 62.7 crore in India.

Is Shahid Kapoor's O Romeo a hit or a flop?

Whether a film is a hit or a flop depends not only on the total earnings, but also on its budget. According to reports, the film's total cost is estimated at between Rs 100 and 120 crore. If the budget is set at 100 crores, the film will have to earn at least that much net to work out the cost. Currently, the value stands at around Rs 72 crore. Looking at the current earnings, it seems difficult for the film to reach that level. So it is being considered as average or a flop.

All about O Romeo: Cast and story

O Romeo stars Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia, Avinash Tiwary, Disha Patani, Farida Jalal, and Nana Patekar. The film is based on author Hussain Zaidi's book Mafia Queens of Mumbai. The story revolves around the theme of love, passion, and its serious consequences.
