Taking to Instagram, Pednekar shared a video urging people to extend support to those affected. Speaking about the crisis, it was said by the actor that while the country had united over several recent issues, many equally important concerns were not getting a platform, including the devastating floods in Assam.
Pednekar revealed that she became aware of the extent of the disaster after being contacted because of her previous involvement in flood relief work. It was shared by her that torrential floods had continued for over a week across more than 25 districts, affecting over 9 lakh people.

Recalling the citizen-led initiatives during the Punjab floods last year, Pednekar encouraged people to contribute in any way possible. She also urged the public to look at the visuals emerging from Assam, saying they would inspire more people to help those in need.
The actor's appeal comes as relief operations continue across the flood-affected districts, with thousands of families requiring immediate assistance and long-term rehabilitation.
