Mumbai, March 2 Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, who moved to Dubai a few years ago, expressed his faith in the strong bond between India and the UAE, calling it "a bridge of steel," as he prayed for those affected by the conflict in the Middle East.
The 'Saathiya' actor also praised the UAE government and their armed forces for keeping residents safe during these uncertain times.
Vivek's post on his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle read, "To my extended family in the UAE, I know the headlines can feel heavy right now, but remember that the foundation of this land is built on peace, resilience, and an incredible spirit of togetherness. Even though we come from over 200 different nations, we are part of an incredible community that looks out for each other as one big family. I salute the exceptional leadership of the UAE Government, @modgovae, and the dedicated armed forces of the UAE. Their fearless spirit and tireless defense keep every resident safe and secure, and the timely alerts issued by @NCEMAUAE are our greatest tool for preparedness."
Vivek advised all those in the UAE at the time to stay indoors as advised. He further urged all residents of India to pray for those living in the Middle East.
The 'Masti' actor also requested everyone to refrain from spreading panic and to verify the source of any information before sharing it.
"The bond between our nations is a bridge of steel, and the safety of every soul here is held in the highest regard. Stay safe, stay indoors as advised, and stay calm. To those back home in India: Let's keep everyone in our prayers. Don't be a source of panic. Seek the source and only rely on verified media. Choose empathy over all else. The truth will always be the strongest shield we have. Sending peace and light to every home in the Emirates," he added.
