Yami Gautam reacts to Himachal tragedy due to rain, floods: No amount of words can heal this wound

Actor Yami Gautam, who hails from Himachal, is heartbroken at the rains causing massive destruction to life and property, and says a balance between development & nature is necessary.

Her photos and videos often offer her fans a glimpse into the serene life at Himachal Pradesh, her hometown. But what’s happening of late, courtesy heavy rains and floods, has left Yami Gautam disheartened.

Actor Yami Gautam will be seen in the film Oh My God 2 next.

“It’s really unfortunate, people lost their lives. That’s not how you ever imagined... it’s really painful. There is no amount of words that can heal that wound. But just so that it doesn’t happen to someone else at this scale, I hope necessary steps are taken,” says the actor.

Reminding us that Himachal is called the ‘Land of Gods’, she continues and says it is ‘sacred’. “It is disheartening to watch those videos of the situation due to the rains, and some I actually couldn’t believe are real. But people there must be prepared now, to avoid it in the future. This is what nature is telling us, it is a red alert. It’s a sign that something needs to be done at various levels, and that we all are equally responsible,” adds Gautam, who has a house in Himachal even now, along with cattle.
