Backing the 33-year-old, Manoj Bajpai, who is also from Bihar, retweeted his tweet and wrote, "For our Bihar. #BiharFlood."  NDRF and Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) teams have been deployed in the state and are currently carrying out rescue and relief operations.  The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) on October 2 issued an orange alert for Patna, Vaishali, Begusarai, and Khagaria districts for October 3 and 4, as these areas are expected to receive heavy rainfall.

The state has also taken an initiative of fogging in the flood-affected regions to avoid the spreading of bacteria. On the work front, Sushant will soon be seen in 'Drive' and 'Dil Bechara'. The film was earlier titled as 'Kizzie Aur Manny' and is said to be inspired by the popular movie 'The Fault in Our Stars'. (ANI)
