Days after Madhura Naik lost her cousin and brother-in-law due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, the Naagin actress has now revealed that 300 of her family members are still stuck in Israel. In a recent interview, Madhura, whose mother is an Israeli and father a Hindu, shared that attacks have changed her life upside-down.
Talking about her cousin’s death, Madhura told Hindustan Times, “My family informed me about them missing, and only after 24 hours were their bodies identified. Their children in the car along with them, were taken back by the officers on duty.”
The actress continued, “The situation unfortunately has always been like this in Israel, we have always faced a lot of such situations. My family is worried about how things are going to escalate. I felt it is necessary to talk about it in my social media post. I cannot reveal where I am right now, due to security reasons, neither can I tell you which members are stuck in Israel. I have just been getting a lot of communal hate after my post, and it is shocking that people are failing to empathise with innocent lives. They fail to understand that it is the innocent civilians who die. This is a terror attack, same like what happened in Mumbai, 26/11.”
Madhura also revealed that she has been getting threats on social media from the last few days. However, she shared that she feels safe in India. “It’s very important for all Jews in all parts of the world to stay safe. I feel extremely safe here in India, the authorities are very supportive of us. If any such situation happens, I know I will have their full support. I have the best of both Jewish and Hindu religions. I am just praying for the safety of everyone,” she said.
Madhura Naik is known for television shows like Hum Ne Li Hai- Shapath and Tumhari Pakhi.
