The social media and internet were splashed with visuals of Aamir Khan, Vishnu Vishal, and Jwala Gutta being rescued from the floods.
On Tuesday morning, Vishnu Vishal took to X saying that water was entering his house in Karapakkam and the level was rising badly.
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan was in the city for the past few months with his ailing mother undergoing treatment at a medical centre in Chennai. He was staying in the same villa community at Karapakkam where Vishnu Vishal lives. They were all rescued after Vishu Vishal’s call for help went viral.
