The last few days have been intense and uncertain, but I\u2019m truly grateful to be back to my house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She expressed gratitude to the authorities and support staff in Dubai for their assistance during the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA heartfelt thank you to the incredible ground teams, Dubai authorities, airport staff, immigration, and every single person who stepped up and took such good care of us during a very difficult time. The empathy and professionalism meant more than words can say,\u201d she posted.<\/p>\n<p>The former world champion was travelling via Dubai when airspace in parts of the Gulf region was shut amid military escalation. Iran later retaliated, reportedly impacting areas including Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, on February 28, Sindhu had shared details of her ordeal, revealing that an explosion occurred near her place of stay.
