Warina Hussain: "20 years ago, it was because of this war and turmoil that my family was forced to flee Afghanistan"

The situation in Afghanistan has now gotten everyone thinking and contemplating how we have reached the situation. Thousands of families are now fleeing the country and seeking shelter elsewhere. Now Loveyatri actress Warina Hussain, who actually hails from Afghanistan has opened up about the situation and recalled how a similar circumstance 20 years back had forced her family to flee the country.

Talking to HT, Warina Hussain said, “It’s a difficult time for me and my family. It’s eerily similar to 20 years ago. It was because of this war and turmoil that my family was forced to flee Afghanistan, and now, many years later, I see other families losing their homes.”

Warina revealed she was a child when they left. Talking of the memories she cherishes, she said. “My memories will always be of family picnics, food, and a beautiful spring in Kabul, which I doubt will ever be the same again; the only air one will now breathe will be of suppression.”

She also added, “I was fortunate that India accepted me and became my home but I’m afraid that isn’t the case for everyone right now. Such a country’s conditions result in emergency immigration, resulting in thousands of refugees and asylum seekers arriving in neighbouring countries, where immediate accommodation may be difficult.”

All we can now do is pray for Afghanistan.
