Heavy monsoon rains have turned large parts of Assam into a flood‑ravaged landscape, claiming lives and leaving many stranded. The disaster has personally affected television actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, whose mother is currently stuck in the inundated region.

Devoleena posted an emotional video on Instagram, tearfully expressing her helplessness. She admitted that she had stayed silent for fear of losing control over her emotions, but the severity of the situation forced her to speak out.

She also disclosed that her grandmother’s and aunt’s house is completely underwater, saying, “Everything is gone.” While her own ancestral home escaped the worst of the flood, the loss to her close family members is profound.

Because she has a small child, Devoleena explained that she cannot travel to the flood‑hit area herself, deepening her anguish. She has therefore appealed to the public for immediate help and support.

Fans have flooded social media with messages of encouragement, and many have offered to join relief efforts, highlighting the power of celebrity influence in crisis situations.
