Manisha Koirala, who was born in Nepal and has often talked about her connection with the country, also exhorted people to pray for those affected.

Sonu Sood, Prabal Gurung Offer Prayers For Nepal
Known for his humanitarian work, Sonu Sood advanced his support to those affected by the disaster. In a post on X, the actor wrote: "Nepal, you are not alone. We are coming with food, shelter and the strength to help you rebuild."
Veteran actor Arun Govil also wrote: "Prayers for everyone affected. Deeply saddened by the devastating floods in Nepal. The heartbreaking visuals reflect the immense challenges being faced by countless families. Praying for the safety, strength, and well-being of all those impacted." Internationally acclaimed Nepal-born fashion designer Prabal Gurung also expressed concern.
A tremendous landslide blocked the Bhote Koshi river, triggering a torrent of water downstream from China to Nepal. A group of scientists believe a glacier may have broken off and fallen into the valley below, which sparkled or accelerated the effect of the landslide. Nepal has faced repeated challenges from extreme weather and flooding in recent years, and the latest flash floods have again flagged fears about loss, displacement and infrastructure damage.
