Talking about this, Urvashi Rautela said, ‘Being a daughter of Haridwar, every stone, every river, every breath of Uttarakhand is a part of my soul. Today, seeing the devastating flood in the Kheer Ganga river in Uttarkashi, my land, my people, my family… I am feeling such pain it is difficult to express in words. Houses were washed away. Roads, shops, memories, and dreams… everything was washed away in moments.’

Urvashi further said, ‘Families are searching for their loved ones, children are crying for their parents, and parents are praying for their missing children. This is not just news for me, this is my home. These are my people. To all the people of Dharali and all the affected areas, please know that you are not alone. I am with you. I pray for you. And I promise that I will use my voice, my reach, and my resources to help you. I request my fans, all the well-wishers of the country and the world, to come together and make a small contribution. Whether it is a verified relief link or a prayer, everything matters. It saves lives. Uttarakhand has always stood up after every storm. We will rise again. Our rivers may be in spate, but our courage is even stronger. I will personally work with local organisations and officers to ensure that help reaches those in need.’
