As we were about to land in DUBAI, the airspace closed in the UAE due to fresh missile attacks! We have now been diverted to MUSCAT and are awaiting further updates!! When will this WAR end!! Praying (sic),”On the professional side, Ameesha Patel was last seen in 'Tauba Tera Jalwa, which underperformed at the box office. Her most notable recent success remains 'Gadar 2'.The ETimes review of 'Gadar 2' stated, "Ameesha Patel doesn’t have much to do except for tearfully waiting for the men in her life to come back home. Utkarsh Sharma gets some crucial scenes and while he’s pleasant, he lacks the screen presence required for this action drama. It’s not that 'Gadar 2' is badly made, it’s just full of characters that don’t have the depth to stir the desired emotion in you or hold your attention for too long. For Sunny Deol fans, the actor does bring back his star power and that quintessential roar that’s hard to miss in the film."
