Actor and Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut visited flood-affected regions of Himachal Pradesh on Tuesday, documenting the extensive damage and ongoing relief efforts through her Instagram account. Her visit comes amid severe flooding and heavy rainfall that have wreaked havoc across the state, resulting in significant loss of life and infrastructure.
The catastrophic floods have left communities in distress, prompting Ranaut to visit the areas personally. She shared photographs and videos on social media, highlighting the severe impact of the disaster. In one Instagram Story, Ranaut expressed her deep sorrow, stating, “People have lost everything… in the vastness of that loss I feel immense pain and grief… our hope is PM Modi…”
Another post featured a heartfelt moment where she embraced a local woman, capturing the emotional weight of the situation. Ranaut’s social media updates also included reflections on the nature of the mountains, describing them as “sometimes so serene, so blissful… at times so terrifying, so volatile.” She likened her own experiences to the mountains, noting, “I am mountains and they are me.”
Ranaut’s visit has been a point of discussion following criticism for her initial absence from the affected areas. She clarified that local authorities had advised against her immediate visit to ensure the safety and effectiveness of rescue operations. In recent statements, she assured the people of Himachal Pradesh of her support, tweeting, “I asked for meetings with PM ji and HM ji regarding flood destructions in Mandi constituency. I want to assure Himachal people I have their back and they will get BJP’s full support.”
The devastating floods have intensified the need for comprehensive recovery and rebuilding efforts. Ranaut emphasized the harsh reality faced by mountain communities, stating, “The life of people living in the mountains is tough.
