Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha landed in Mumbai on Sunday afternoon after being stranded in Israel following the attack on the country by Hamas militants.
The 38-year-old actress exited the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport around 2:30 p.m.
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.
The actor, known for the Pyaar Ka Punchnama series, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, and Chhorii, was in Israel to attend the Haifa International Film Festival, which ran through September 28 and October 7.
Earlier in the day, Bharuccha's publicist said she was "safe" and was on her way to India.
According to reports, the actress’ team had lost contact with her after a surprise attack by Hamas militants from the 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.
