Her note read, "Right now, floods are affecting so many parts of our country, with Assam being among the hardest hit, facing an incredibly challenging time. More than 60 lives have been lost. Lakhs of people have been displaced. Entire families have lost their homes, their land, their livestock... and for some, even the people they love. It happens every year, and it still catches us off guard. Assam needs immediate relief right now, and it'll need support for the long road to recovery. If you've been wondering how you can help, I'll be sharing a few ways we can support relief efforts over the next few days through organisations working on the ground."
Bhumi Pednekar
Bollywood actress and activist Bhumi Pednekar also stepped forward, calling for nationwide support and donations for the devastating floods in Assam, which have displaced over 7.5 lakh people. Pednekar urged citizens to take action and donate essentials such as food, mattresses and sanitation items.
Papon
Indian singer Papon, who is from Assam, took to his X account to share a video in which he spoke directly to the camera about the devastating situation in Assam. Later, when the singer noticed the contribution of the people, he shared a video thanking everyone by saying, “Firstly, thank you to everyone who contributed and helped raise more funds for Assam. I just wanted to bring to notice what's happening in Assam right now. The devastation caused by the floods this year is beyond imagination. It rains a lot here, and there are floods, but you can't imagine the situation this time. Villages are flooded, people are still homeless, hundreds of people are missing, and people have lost their lives... so many animals have died. Thank you to everyone who called my team, day and night, and helped us in any way. I pray to God that the situation gets better and returns to normal soon. Whatever I can do in my capacity to help, I will.”
Adah Sharma
The Kerala Story actress also reacted to the Assam flood crisis, urging people to donate to trusted relief organisations and asking them to imagine the pain of watching floodwaters enter their homes and take away their belongings, memories, crops and livelihoods.
About Assam Floods
Around mid-July 2026, Assam floods were triggered by intense, unseasonal cloudbursts and incessant rainfall in Upper Assam and neighbouring hilly areas like Nagaland. Escalating day by day, it impacted roughly 7.21 lakh people at its peak, spreading across multiple districts including Sivasagar, Charaideo, and Jorhat.
Reportedly, on 21 July alone, 21 people died in 24 hours, most swept away or drowned in floodwaters, whereas others were killed in landslides and house collapses.
