Popular Bengali actor Kharaj Mukherjee, wife stuck in flood-hit Nepal
The couple had travelled to the Himalayan country on August 20 with the production team of a Bangladeshi film for a shoot, along with family and friends.
Bengali actor Kharaj Mukherjee and his wife Pratibha found themselves stranded in Nepal after flash floods devastated the country. The couple, along with family and friends, were in Nepal to film a Bangladeshi movie when the disaster struck. Mukherjee, a well-known figure in the Bengali film industry, has assured that they are safe.
However, they are now planning to travel to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh before flying to Kolkata, as they were unable to return to India by air due to the situation in Nepal. Kharaj Mukherjee has an extensive filmography, with notable films such as Kahaani, Special 26, The Namesake, and Accident among his works. The death toll in Nepal due to the floods has reached 177, and authorities are racing to find thousands of missing people, including 300 Indian tourists.
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari expressed his sorrow and assured condolences to the affected families. He also mentioned that the state government is closely monitoring the situation and working with the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu and Nepalese authorities to assist the affected individuals from West Bengal.
