Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha has returned to India after being stranded in Israel due to the attack by Hamas militants. Bharuccha, who was in Israel to attend a film festival, looked visibly tired as she arrived at the airport and requested the media for some time. Her team had lost contact with her after the attack, but her publicist assured that she was safe. Bharuccha's latest film, "Akelli", is a thriller drama about a woman trapped in a combat zone.
Actor
Nushrratt Bharuccha
landed here on Sunday afternoon after being stranded in Israel following the attack on the country by Hamas militants. Dressed in casuals and looking haggard, the 38-year-old actor exited the
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport
around 2.30 pm.
Almost teary eyed, Bharuccha requested the media personnel gathered in huge numbers outside the airport to give her "some time".
"Mujhe thoda waqt dijiye (Please give me some time)," she told reporters as she was being escorted to her car by security.

Shocking! Amidst crisis, Nushrratt Bharuccha is stranded in Israel
Earlier in the day, Bharuccha's publicist said she is "safe" and was on her way to India.
According to reports, the actor's team had lost contact with her after a surprise attack by Hamas militants from Gaza Strip at daybreak killed at least 22 Israelis on Saturday even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared "war" and said his country would extract an "unprecedented price" from its enemy.
Bharuccha was last seen in "Akelli", the thriller drama about an ordinary Indian woman trapped in a combat zone.
