We cannot bring back all the lives lost, but at least here we are to show our sympathy and support in whatever way it might be.”

He urged everyone to come forward and support the people of Wayanad, adding, “People should come forward. I urge everyone to know that this is when you have to show your humanity and come forward and give them moral support however you want. Be with the people of Kerala. I show gratitude towards the Navy, Army, police, fire services and medical personnel.”

Earlier, Chiranjeevi had posted on X, sharing that he was ‘distressed’ for the people of Wayanad, writing, “Deeply distressed by the devastation and loss of hundreds of precious lives in Kerala due to nature’s fury in the last few days. My heart goes out to the victims of the Wayanad tragedy. Charan and I together are contributing ₹1 Crore to the Kerala CM Relief Fund as a token of our support to the victims. My prayers for the recovery of all those in pain!”
