'Things in UAE feel surprisingly normal': Swasika on war tensions
Malayalam actor Swasika just got back to Kochi and shared that things in the UAE feel surprisingly normal, even with all the recent tensions in West Asia.
Although the article reports US and Israeli attacks on Iran—and Iran's retaliation against countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia—she said people there were carrying on with daily life.
As she put it, "A heavy, panicky situation is not there, but those from other countries will definitely get a little bit panicked," and she noted people "were going about their daily lives without any problems."
How other passengers felt
Others on Swasika's 186-member chartered flight agreed.
One passenger, Yakub from Malappuram, noticed drones but praised how well the UAE handled security.
Another traveler, Ganesh from Bengaluru, said drones were being shot down but everything felt under control.
Their experiences highlight how calm and steady things remain in the UAE, even when there's trouble nearby.
