Shah Rukh Khan and a slate of Bollywood stars publicly voiced support for Punjab as it confronts a severe flood crisis. In early September 2025, heavy rainfall caused the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi to overflow, inundating districts such as Gurdaspur, Fazilka, Kapurthala, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur, Hoshiarpur, and Amritsar. This piece centers on Shah Rukh Khan Punjab Floods Solidarity as celebrities rally behind affected communities.
Punjab Flood Crisis: Scope and Affected Areas
Punjab is facing one of its worst flood scenarios in recent years. The overflowing rivers have disrupted daily life, damaged homes and crops, and stretched local relief resources. So far, authorities report around 30 deaths and more than 3.5 lakh people affected, with thousands displaced across Gurdaspur, Fazilka, Tarn Taran, Kapurthala, Ferozepur, Hoshiarpur, Amritsar, and nearby areas. Rescue teams and volunteers have worked around the clock to evacuate families and deliver aid to affected neighborhoods.
The Indian Army’s Western Command has led large-scale rescue operations, saving over 5,500 civilians and 300 paramilitary personnel. They have provided medical care to more than 3,000 people and delivered 27 tonnes of food and essential supplies to flood-affected areas. Local authorities and communities are coordinating with state agencies to sustain relief and begin rebuilding efforts as waters recede.
As the crisis unfolds, the response underscores the importance of coordinated support—from government agencies to non-profits and everyday citizens—so that vulnerable families, including farmers and daily-wage workers, can recover and rebuild their lives.
Celebrities Expressing Support
Several major stars used social media to extend prayers and encouragement to those affected. Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Ranveer Singh shared messages of strength and hope, while Karan Johar, Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra, and Vicky Kaushal joined in with remarks of concern and prayers for victims.
Some actors have taken tangible steps to help. Sonu Sood, known for his humanitarian work, again offered direct relief, and both Randeep Hooda and Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh have contributed in various ways to relief and rehabilitation efforts.
