Dubai Renovations Amidst Rising Tensions
Amid rising tensions in Dubai triggered by the ongoing US–Israel–Iran conflict, actor Ram Kapoor is planning to head back to Dubai next week to wrap up pending work at his home in Burj Khalifa .
Ram said, “Last time, we were there for about a week. I thought I would come back to Mumbai and wait for things to calm down before starting again. But now I don’t have a choice. My work is still pending, and the situation does not seem likely to resolve anytime soon and appears to be escalating. It could continue for months, or even longer. If that is the case, I cannot delay any further. I will have to go and complete the timelines I had planned, despite the situation.”
Ram Kapoor to Travel Solo to Dubai
He explained that the urgency stems from renovation work at his home in the Burj Khalifa, which is currently on hold.
Ram added, “There is work underway at my home in the Burj Khalifa. We received the necessary permissions and have a fixed timeframe within which it needs to be completed, but everything has now come to a standstill. I could request an extension, but we don’t know how long this situation will last. So the idea is to continue with the work and try to finish it as per the original plan. People I know in Dubai are continuing with their lives as much as possible. It’s not an ideal situation, but I am not panicking.”
Confidence in Dubai’s Safety Measures
Unlike his previous visit, Ram will be travelling solo this time, with his wife Gautami Kapoor staying back. He will be flying to Dubai on Tuesday after finishing a few things here, and he expects to be there for a couple of weeks. In the interview, Ram mentioned that Dubai is very well organised and “capable of ensuring safety”.
Since the US and Israel unleashed strikes on Iran on February 28, war has spread across the region and casualties have been reported in countries across the Middle East. The conflict has impacted Gulf countries like the UAE, Qatar, and Jordan.
Despite regional tensions, Ram Kapoor is determined to complete his pending work in Dubai. He acknowledges the situation’s uncertainty but remains optimistic, trusting in Dubai’s safety measures as he navigates the challenges ahead to meet his renovation deadlines.
