Taking to X on Sunday, Santhosh described the tense situation as he travelled out of Qatar. He wrote, "My Qatar flight was probably the very last to leave the Middle East before the complete shutdown of airports. Just connected via starlink as I am flying into the U.S Praying for the safety of all my brothers and sisters in the region."
His message came at a time when several countries in the region were reportedly closing their airspace following heightened military action.
A few hours later, the composer reassured followers about his safety. In a follow-up post, he wrote, "I have reached the US safely. Thank you for your concerned messages and prayers."
