‘God’s Own Country’ Kerala is facing the wrath of nature, which has already claimed the lives of approximately 324 people. To help the locals who have been hit by the massive flooding, Bollywood celebrities have shown a strong support either financially or urging their fans on the social media to do a bit or two. Among those celebs who have reached out to the people of Kerala in their bad times, is actress Esha Gupta.
Esha was one of the first celebs to come forward in support of the beautiful state of Kerala which has been facing massive floods over the past week. The actress took over Instagram earlier and posted a video and quoted “Guys it’s an appeal, after getting updates from people stuck in Kerala, please try and give supplies, food, clothes, diapers, dog food, medicines, whatever items you think are needed at such time. More importantly, a lot of places and people including myself have been collecting supplies but have no way for it to reach till beyond Bangalore due to the noise of transportation. Kochin airport is shut, and landslides are occurring towards other sides. So if somehow we can make our voice heard for transporting supplies. Would be great. United we stand #keralafloods #humanityforkerala”

The 32-year-old actress who firmly believes that ‘United we stand’ has also urged other celeb friends to come forward to donate and request their fans to do the same to amplify the donation. She is the only Bollywood actress who is so active on Instagram for the cause and has started the campaign by reposting Dino Morea, Sonal Chauhan, Ali Fazal’s Insta videos.
Esha has been constantly sharing information and updates on the cause and her Instagram currently is filled with flood relief websites and is requesting her fans to visit the sites and donate as much as possible. The actress’ non-stop efforts on Instagram has surely evoked a feeling of responsibility amongst many. While many celebs have made a monetary contribution, Esha believes that ‘Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference.’
