Cyclone Michaung has caused massive havoc in Chennai leaving the city at a standstill for over two days. The pictures and visuals surfacing on the internet are truly scary and guess what, actors Aamir Khan and Vishnu Vishal were stuck in the floods and were eventually rescued.
Aamir Khan was stuck with no water and no food in Karapakkam
Vishnu Vishal took to his Twitter and shared that he was rescued by the fire and rescue department. The two pictures he shared feature the boats deployed to rescue the passengers. Aamir Khan and Vishnu's wife, badminton player Jwala Gutta were also seen getting rescued by the department people.
Vishal wrote alongside the pictures, "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 the TN govt in such testing times. Thanks to all the administrative people who are working relentlessly."
How did Vishnu reach out to the rescuers?
Taking to Twitter, the actor wrote, ¡°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 the terrace at a particular point do I get some signal. Let's hope I and so many here get some help, I can feel for people all over Chennai.¡±
Minister of Industries of the state, Dr TRB Rajaa praised Aamir Khan!
Taking to Twitter, TRB wrote, "Thanks for the appreciation @TheVishnuVishal and please do thank the gentleman next to you 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!"
"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."
