Dubai [UAE], March 2 (ANI): Punjabi singer-actor Ammy Virk shared that his wife and his six-year old daughter are stranded in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) amid rising tensions across the West Asia region.
On Monday, Ammy took to Instagram and penned a note, revealing the brave words his little one told him during these uncertain times.
'The situation in the UAE has been weighing heavily on my heart. My wife and my 6-year-old daughter are there, and as a husband and father, it's impossible not to feel emotional and tense during times like this. (sic),' Ammy wrote.
He added, 'Papa, I will hide under my bed if something happens. I'm a strong girl Papa don't worry' is not what a father wants to hear. Every news update feels personal. No matter how strong we try to be in public life, at the end of the day, we are family people.'
He also lauded the UAE authorities for their dedicated efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of people there.

From what I'm being told, they are working tirelessly to ensure people remain safe and supported during this time. For that. I am truly grateful. Let's continue to pray for peace, stability and the well being of everyone there. May this phase pass soon, and may all families feel secure and protected,' Virk posted.
