Mumbai, Aug 27: Veteran actor Anupam Kher has expressed deep concern over the devastation caused by the sudden floods in Nepal.

He offered prayers for those who lost their lives and urged the world to come together to support those affected. Taking to Instagram, Kher shared a video along with a heartfelt note, describing the visuals emerging from Nepal as “horrifying” and heartbreaking. He expressed his sympathies for families who have lost loved ones, as well as people whose homes and livelihoods have been destroyed.

Sharing his video, the ‘Tanvi the Great’ actor wrote, “I pray for Nepal! Deeply saddened and horrified by the devastation caused by the sudden floods in Nepal. Lives lost. Families torn apart. Homes washed away. Helpless animals caught in the destruction. It is heartbreaking to imagine how, in a few moments, everything someone calls their own can disappear. Watching these scenes, I feel such helplessness. What words can possibly comfort someone who has lost a loved one? My heart goes out to the grieving families and to everyone living through this fear and uncertainty.”

The 71-year-old actor added, “I pray for the people of Nepal and for those affected across the border in Tibet. May those still waiting for help be reached. May those searching for their loved ones find them safe. And may those who have lost everything find support, shelter and a hand to hold. I hope the world comes together to help—with compassion, with urgency, and with whatever each of us can give. In this time of unimaginable sorrow, let us make sure they do not feel alone. #Nepal #Floods.”

In the video, Anupam could be heard saying, “Deeply saddened and horrified to see the devastation caused by flash floods in Nepal. Horrifying, it’s horrifying. Visuals are coming in. Can’t believe what must have happened actually over there. You can see every video says a frightening story and a frightening visual. Devastation to property, to human life, to animals, to fields. It’s terrible, terrible. My heart goes out to people who have lost their lives, their families. This is one such situation where the words are absolutely worthless.”

“But the only thing one can do individually is to lend emotional support and also request the rest of the world to come forward and to help people of Nepal, Tibet. And I’m sure the devastation must have happened in China also and my sympathies with them. Indian government is doing their level best to help them.”

Several celebrities have expressed their concern and extended prayers for those affected by the devastating floods in Nepal.

The devastating flash floods that struck Nepal on August 26 have claimed at least 270 lives, with more than 800 people still reported missing. The floods caused widespread destruction, washing away villages and several project sites in areas along the Tibet border.

In response to the disaster, the Nepal Army has mobilised 14 helicopters and specialised disaster response teams to assist with ongoing rescue and relief efforts.

Mumbai, August 27: Bollywood star Katrina Kaif faced trolling on social media after she made a rare public appearance following the birth of her son in November last year.

Katrina, who was seen glowing with her pregnancy gain, was recently seen alongside husband and actor Vicky Kaushal at the funeral of filmmaker Kuku Kohli in Mumbai on August 26.

A lot many trolls were seen commenting on her appearance and questioning what had happened to the actor.

The couple arrived to pay their last respects to the late filmmaker and were seen meeting members of the bereaved family before leaving the crematorium. For the uninitiated, Kuku Kohli passed away on August 25 at the age of 77 following a cardiac arrest.

Pictures and videos from Katrina’s appearance at the crematorium surfaced online, prompting a section of social media users to comment on her changed appearance after motherhood. Some of the comments were particularly unkind, with users writing, “This is terrible, what happened to Katrina?”, “She looks like a rasgulla”»

Others wrote, “She got 100% Indianized. Even the walk. Holy crap.”, “Katrina is looking like Hardik’s wife Natasha”»

Another user wrote in Hindi, “Katrina Kaif full change ho gayi hain, pehly bohat khubsurat thi ab old woman lag rahi hain ,” while another commented, “Now she looks like a Punjabi bahu..!!”

The appearance comes months after Katrina and Vicky embraced parenthood. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on November 7, 2025.

They announced the arrival on of their baby on social media, writing that their “bundle of joy” had arrived. In January 2026, they revealed their son’s name as Vihaan Kaushal and shared a picture showing his tiny hand.

For the uninitiated, Katrina and Vicky had announced their pregnancy in September 2025. The couple tied the knot on December 9, 2021, in an intimate wedding ceremony in Rajasthan.

Post motherhood, Katrina has largely kept away from the public spotlight.

Katrina has, however, continued to offer fans glimpses of her life through social media without extensively revealing her son or sharing much of their personal life.

Mumbai, August 26: Veteran actress Aruna Irani looked visibly bereaved as she arrived at the crematorium for the last rites of her husband and filmmaker Kuku Kohli, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 77 after suffering a cardiac arrest.

A video from the funeral ceremony shows a bereaved Aruna, dressed in white, arriving at the venue. She appeared emotional as she made her way towards the crematorium, with people around her helping her get out of the car.

In another frame, the veteran actress is seen holding someone’s hand as she walks towards the venue.

For the uninitiated, talking about Kuku Kohli, he was best known for directing the 1991 action-romance Phool Aur Kaante, which marked Ajay Devgn’s debut. His other directorial ventures include Haqeeqat, Suhaag, Zulmi, Anari No. 1, Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa and Woh Tera Naam Tha.

While Kuku Kohli’s professional contribution to Hindi cinema is known to all, making him highly reputed in the industry, but his relationship with Aruna Irani remained one of the lesser-known chapters of their lives for many years.

Reportedly, the couple’s love story began on a film set and, interestingly, not on particularly romantic terms. Aruna had earlier revealed that she and Kuku initially shared a “love-hate relationship”. She recalled that he would make the actors wait until Dharmendra arrived on the sets, something that would frustrate her because she was juggling multiple films at the time. Kuku would later console her whenever she was upset, and the equation gradually changed.

Aruna also narrated the story during an appearance on the singing reality show Indian Idol earlier this year.

When host Aditya Narayan mmn had asked her about her experience of working with Kuku, Aruna responded with her trademark wit, “Romance wala experience ya director wala?”

Asked to elaborate on their romantic equation, she said, “Romance to ajeeb baat thi, Kuku ji ka aur mera 36 (chattis) ka aakda tha.”

She then recalled an incident that eventually changed their equation. According to Aruna, she and Suresh Bhatt were joking about Kuku on the sets when the filmmaker asked what they were talking about. Suresh jokingly told him that they were discussing how handsome he looked in a white outfit.

Aruna recalled, “He seriously thought ki main unki tareef kar rahi hoon… then ahista-ahista woh soft hone lage, jab woh soft hone lage to main soft ho gayi… aur pata nahi kab chakkar chal gaya.”

Their relationship, however, was complicated from the beginning. Aruna had revealed that Kuku was already married and had children when they met, and she initially did not know that he had a wife and daughters. She said this was one of the reasons she kept their relationship private for years.

Aruna and Kuku married in 1990, when she was 40. Their marriage remained largely under wraps, and Aruna did not publicly discuss it while Kuku’s first wife, Rita Kohli, was alive. She later explained that she felt it was inappropriate to speak about the relationship publicly out of respect for his first family.
