PV Sindhu Returns to Bengaluru Safe After Dubai Ordeal

PV Sindhu touched down in Bengaluru on a quiet evening flight, bringing to a close a tense spell in Dubai as the Middle East conflict intensified and travel disruptions mounted. The two-time Olympic medallist confirmed her return on social media, writing that she was back home in Bengaluru and safe after an anxious period abroad. She also recalled a close call when an explosion occurred near the area where she and her coach were staying, and expressed deep gratitude to the ground teams, Dubai authorities, airport staff, immigration, and everyone who stepped up to support them during a very difficult time.

Despite the relief of being home, Sindhu faces a challenging calendar ahead. She had been scheduled to compete at the All England Championships but withdrew due to the travel disruptions in Dubai. While the rest of the Indian contingent remained in Birmingham, Sindhu’s focus shifted to rest, reset, and planning her next steps. As a two-time Olympic medallist, she said she would take the time to recover and update fans on her schedule in due course.

Her return brings relief to fans and the badminton community, who applauded her composure during a crisis that tested athletes and support teams alike. As she recovers, all eyes will be on her comeback timeline and how she navigates future tournaments, with supporters hoping she returns stronger and ready for the next big stage.
