Chennai Floods: Aamir Khan Rescued After Being Stranded For Over 24 Hours

Published

Chennai: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan was among the people stranded in Karapakkam, a locality in suburban Chennai, after the neighbourhood was surrounded by water following torrential rains triggered by severe cyclonic storm Michaung. The Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services personnel rescued the actor and others on Tuesday after the rains subsided. 

A photograph of Aamir Khan sitting on an inflatable boat along with other residents was shared by Tamil actor Vishnu Vishal on the micro-blogging platform X on Tuesday. “Thanks to the fire and rescue department for helping people like us who are stranded. Rescue operations have started in Karapakkam..Saw 3 boats functioning already Great work by TN govt in such testing times Thanks to all the administrative people who are working relentlessly,” Vishal, who is a resident of Karappakam posted. 

In fact, it was Vishal who had on Monday sought help to be rescued. “Water is entering my house and the level is rising badly in karapakkam. I have called for help. No electricity no wifi. No phone signal. Nothing. Only on terrace at a particular point i get some signal. Lets hope i and so many here get some help. I can feel for people all over chennai,” he had said. 

Based on his post, a contingent of the Fire Services was sent to Karapakkam this morning and the personnel were pleasantly surprised that Vishal was not the only celebrity to be stranded there but Aamir Khan too was among the residents. 

Aamir Khan had relocated to Chennai to take care of his mother

In October last year, Aamir Khan had announced that he was relocated to Chennai to be by his mother Zeenat Hussain’s side, who is undertaking treatment in a private hospital in the city. He had said he was taking a break from his film career for his ageing mother and three children. 

“When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost in that that nothing else happens in my life. I was supposed to do a film after Laal Singh Chaddha called Champions. It’s a wonderful script, a beautiful story, and it’s a very heartwarming and lovely film. But I feel that I want to take a break and be with my family, my mom, and my kids,” Aamir Khan had said then in Mumbai. 

“Such a class human being!”: TN minister

Reacting to Vishal’s post, Tamil Nadu Industries Minister TRB Rajaa asked the actor to thank Aamir Khan, for being such a class human being! “Astounding that he didn’t try to pull any strings to be rescued! Awesome to see him being so grounded and WAITING HIS TURN to be rescued just like any of our fellow citizens. Lessons for those who try to pull strings and drop names!,,” he said on X. 

“Hats off to people like Thiru Khan for being sensitive to the scale of the issue at hand and patiently awaiting their turn. We will continue to stick to our Rescue Schedule,” he added. 

The Minister’s reaction comes against the backdrop of another actor Vishal Reddy posting a video on X on Monday complaining about water entering his house and the lack of response from the administration.

Mumbai: The Mumbai Crime Branch issued a Look Out Circular (LOC) against Harichandra alias Harry Boxer, a key alleged member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, in connection with a threat issued to Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh. The action follows a preliminary investigation into a threatening voice note and extortion demand received by the actor’s manager, police officials confirmed, Media reported on Saturday.

According to the Mumbai Crime Branch, the voice note was sent from an American phone number and demanded a ransom of Rs 20 crore. In an earlier development, Mumbai Police sources had indicated that the actor allegedly received a death threat along with an extortion demand of Rs 10 crore from members linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

A senior police official said the threatening message was received on the WhatsApp number of Ranveer Singh’s manager. The sender identified himself as ‘Harry Boxer’ in the audio message. Following this, the Crime Branch sent the voice note for verification to agencies in Punjab and Haryana, while also initiating official communication with US authorities to gather technical details related to the foreign number used to send the threat.

During the preliminary probe, investigators found that Harry Boxer, described as a close aide of the Bishnoi gang, allegedly sent the voice note. Initial findings suggest that the voice in the message matches that of Boxer, although officials stressed that further corroborative evidence is being collected to conclusively establish his involvement.

Police sources further revealed that the threatening message was sent shortly after a recent firing incident outside the residence of filmmaker Rohit Shetty, raising concerns about a possible pattern of intimidation linked to high-profile personalities.

In response to the threat, security arrangements around Ranveer Singh’s residence in Mumbai have been tightened as a precautionary measure. The Crime Branch has recorded the statement of the actor’s manager and continues to examine digital and forensic evidence related to the case.

Officials clarified that while no formal FIR has been registered so far, a preliminary inquiry is underway. Further action will be decided based on the outcome of ongoing verification and evidence collection, police confirmed.
