Guwahati: Bollywood actor Bhumi Pednekar has visited flood-hit Assam to support relief and rehabilitation efforts, becoming the latest celebrity to extend assistance to those affected by the devastating floods.
On 6th August , Pednekar travelled to Sivasagar, where she met flood-affected families, interacted with volunteers and helped distribute essential relief supplies in collaboration with the Bharat Disaster Relief Foundation.
Sharing glimpses of her visit on Instagram, the actor wrote, "Every flooded village reminds us that recovery doesn't begin when the rain stops, it begins when help arrives."
