Bengali actor Kharaj Mukherjee and his wife are stranded in Nepal after devastating floods hit the country. Mukherjee had travelled to Nepal on August 20 for a film shoot, accompanied by his wife and the entire shooting unit.
Heavy rains and flooding have disrupted travel and communication in several parts of Nepal. The exact location of the actor and his wife has not been disclosed, and details about their safety or plans to return remain unclear.
No official statement has been issued by the actor or the film team regarding the situation. Efforts to reach them have not been successful as phone lines are reportedly down in affected areas.
This is not the first time a celebrity has been caught in a natural disaster abroad. In 2015, several Indian actors were stranded in Nepal after the earthquake. The current flooding in Nepal, caused by heavy monsoon rains, has affected millions and disrupted air and road travel. The Indian embassy in Kathmandu typically coordinates with local authorities to assist stranded citizens. The next update will likely come once communication lines are restored and the actor can contact his family or the film's production house.
The flooding in Nepal has killed over 100 people and displaced thousands. Rescue operations are ongoing, but many areas remain cut off.
