Edin Rose is worried for Dubai residing mother
Edin was born and raised in Dubai before moving to India in 2020 to pursue a career in modelling and acting. So, even as she has made Mumbai her home, Dubai will always be where her heart lies. “Dubai is home for me. My family, including my mother, is there. So whatever is happening in the region deeply affects me,” she tells me. Her father passed away in March 2025.
Edin also recalls happier times in Dubai as a child, sharing that the conflict has made her value her family more. “I’ve spent my childhood there, and my thoughts are constantly with my loved ones. Situations like these make you value peace, safety, and the people around you even more,” she says. Flights to and from Dubai continue to face disruptions, but the airspace has been opened. Debris from missiles intercepted by the UAE continues to fall in the region.
On being harassed outside Delhi temple
This comes even as Edin is struggling to cope with something traumatic she went through last year in October. As she stood outside a temple in Delhi and waited for her photographer, she claimed in a Reel she posted back then that a man touched her inappropriately at 7 AM. She also stated that she had taken help from a man at the temple, and later, the photographer arrived and slapped the man multiple times.
Recalling the harrowing incident, the actor says, “It was a very traumatising experience, and incidents like these can be overwhelming. Stricter laws should be enforced to ensure safety.” She also takes into account the rising number of incidents of actors being mobbed in public. “As public figures, we are grateful for the love, but there also needs to be respect for personal space.” The incident outside the Delhi temple has changed her, she says. “I’ve become more cautious and aware of my surroundings now, while also not letting such incidents overshadow the genuine love fans have for us,” she rounds off.
