Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar has made an emotional appeal to help people affected by the devastating floods in Assam. Through a series of videos shared on Instagram, the actress urged people across the country to come together and support thousands of families who have lost their homes and livelihoods. Bhumi said the flood situation in Assam is extremely serious, with around 7.5 lakh people forced to leave their homes. She also spoke about the growing death toll and the heartbreaking scenes of entire villages being washed away. According to the latest update shared by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, at least 66 people have lost their lives in the floods. Bhumi said many families have lost everything they owned and appealed to everyone to help in whatever way they can.
In her video, Bhumi reminded people how the country had come together during last year’s floods in states such as Punjab, Jammu, Bihar and Maharashtra. She said that people had generously donated food, clothes and other essentials to support those in need. She believes the same spirit of kindness is needed once again, this time for Assam. The actress requested people to donate food, mattresses, sanitation supplies and other essential items that can help those struggling in flood affected areas. She also urged everyone to spread the message so that more people become aware of the crisis. Bhumi said the visuals coming from Assam are heartbreaking and that the people there urgently need the nation’s support.
Along with her appeal, Bhumi shared another video highlighting the scale of the disaster. In the caption, she pointed out that social media has the power to reach millions of people and asked everyone to use that power to spread awareness about the floods. She also mentioned that parts of Gujarat have been affected by heavy flooding and called on people to extend support wherever help is needed. She encouraged her followers to donate through the relief link shared on her social media page and help bring attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Bhumi’s appeal received appreciation from many people, including the Office of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Responding to her post, the Chief Minister’s Office thanked the actress for standing with the people of Assam during such a difficult time and said her support meant a great deal to affected families. Singer Nilotpal Bora also praised Bhumi’s efforts and revealed that several Bollywood celebrities had already come forward to support flood relief work. He further requested the actress to continue highlighting the work of trusted NGOs helping people on the ground. As Assam continues to battle one of its worst flood situations in recent years, Bhumi’s heartfelt message has encouraged many people to come together and support those in urgent need.
