According to a statement from her publicist, shared by PTI, they have successfully established contact with Nushrratt, and with the assistance of the embassy, she is now safely on her way back home. Due to a lack of direct flights, she is currently on a connecting flight to India. In the interest of her security, specific details cannot be disclosed at this time.

Nushrratt’s mother, Tasneem, confirmed the good news, expressing her happiness at her daughter’s imminent return and safety. Earlier reports had indicated that the actor’s team had lost contact with her following a surprise attack by Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 22 Israelis on Saturday. Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, declared a state of “war” in response and vowed to exact an “unprecedented price” from those responsible for the attack.
