Bhumi Pednekar is doing her bit for those affected by the devastating Assam floods. The actor has shared a video of herself travelling to flood-hit districts of the state to take part in relief efforts and provide aid to those affected by the floods. Bhumi travelled to the flood-hit state with the Bharat Disaster Relief Foundation (BDRF).
Bhumi takes part in relief effort
Bhumi reshared a video by BDRF that shows her travelling in a car in the dark. She says, "The google map is showing that there is a road but everywhere there is water." She is seen distributing solar lights to those affected by the floods. She is also seen talking to Assam flood victims and handing them food and other relief item packets.
The video shows that even at around 11pm, her surroundings are filled with water. She says in the video that the water level has not gone down for the last three weeks. She explains that this is why they have been distributing solar lights to families, so they can protect themselves from snakes and other reptiles during this time. "It is very difficult. You will have to come and eperience this to know the condition," she said in the clip.
She captioned the post, "Doesn’t matter what time of the day, volunteers are there supporting people @bdrf_official. Distributed solar lights to flood-affected families who are struggling with limited access to electricity and safe lighting. For families living in temporary shelters, a light after sunset is more than just a necessity, it brings safety, comfort, and hope."

Comedian Samay Raina had also donated ₹10 lakh to the CM Relief Fund to help those affected by floods in Assam.
Bhumi faced backlash
Earlier, Bhumi had criticised protesters at the CJP protest in Delhi for using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Her remarks prompted many on social media to question her choice to school the protesters while remaining silent on the student-led CJP protest in Delhi, which demanded education reforms following NEET paper leak.
