As severe flooding continues to ravage wide stretches of Assam, veteran actor Anupam Kher has stepped up and shared a video on Instagram to ask people across the country to stand by those who have lost so much to the devastating floods.

As emergency crews race against time in heavily affected districts, his message serves as a timely reminder that Assam shouldn’t have to carry this burden alone.
