Manya Singh Describes 'Scary' Situation

In the video, she spoke about hearing "blast" sounds near her hotel and described the situation as "scary," especially since she is staying on a high floor. "Hi guys, so here's an update. Ever since yesterday, the situation has slightly improved, and people are out. Last night was difficult because I could hear the blasts, and today, around 9 o'clock, I heard another blast near my hotel. It's scary for me because I am on the 65th floor, and as you can see, it's a busy city. For now, the airline has not said anything, but the hotel has informed us that there is an evacuation underway. Dubai Airport is shut," she said in the video.

She also spoke about the uncertainty surrounding travel arrangements, saying that transport services are limited and she is unsure where they will be taken next. She added, "Abu Dhabi Airport is also shut, but there are a few flights they are arranging for respective countries. So now we have to check out from here, and the transport vehicles are down. We have to take these vehicles, and I have no idea where they are going to take us. So, let's hope for the best. I've always heard that you just have to hope for the best."
