Sara Ali Khan distraught over the Uttarkashi cloudburst, prays for safety: ‘My heart goes out to everyone'
Sara Ali Khan prays for safety
Sara took to her Instagram handle late on Tuesday to pen a note extending her condolences to the families of those who are affected.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Sara wrote, 'My heart goes out to everyone impacted by the incident in Uttarakhand. Praying for safety, strength and healing for all (folded hand emoji).'
In another story, she shared the emergency numbers which have been issued by the Uttarkashi District Emergency Operation Centre to help the rescue operation.
Sara Ali Khan's note
Sara has a special connection with Uttarakhand. She shot her first feature film, Kedarnath, also starring the late Sushant Singh Rajput, in the valley. The film is set in the backdrop of the devastating Uttarakhand floods that left several thousand dead in 2013. Sara has since travelled to the place many times.
What do we know about Uttarkashi cloudburst
A cloudburst caused flash floods in the high-altitude villages of Dharali on Tuesday, killing at least four people, and sweeping away several houses in its train. Dharali is the main stopover on the way to Gangotri and is home to many hotels, home stays, and restaurants.
The triggered flash floods swept through a cluster of villages along the banks of the Kheer Ganga river. Personnel from the army, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), and local police rescued 70 people till midnight, said officials, even as the unceasing rain and treacherous terrain hindered their efforts.
The massive devastation brought back horrific memories of the 2013 deluge in Kedarnath and the Rishiganga disaster of 2021.

"Not American Eagle, but they're American": Gracie Hunt flexes $288 jeans with a jab at Sydney Sweeney
Gracie Hunt's subtle fashion dig at Sydney Sweeney (Instagram and American Eagle) Gracie Hunt is once again proving she doesn't need a red carpet to set trends or spark conversations. The Kansas City Chiefs heiress and former Miss Kansas USA turned Instagram into her own runway this week, delivering a bold style statement paired with a sly remark that many believe was aimed squarely at actress Sydney Sweeney . Her fashion-forward post did more than just flaunt $288 denim—it lit up the internet with speculation and subtle shade. Gracie Hunt's Denim shade steals spotlight with a sly dig at Sydney Sweeney In a stunning carousel of sun-kissed images posted Wednesday, Gracie stood confidently in a sleek sleeveless black mock-neck top, high-waisted blue jeans, black Gucci belt, and sky-high platform heels. Accessories included a black handbag, layered gold jewelry, and that signature pageant-worthy poise. But what stole the spotlight wasn't just her outfit—it was the caption beneath. 'Denim days & dreamy nights 💙🌄 I like the view and my jeans (not American Eagle—but they are American) 😉👖🇺🇸,' she wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) Fashion fans didn't take long to connect the dots. The post appeared to be a cheeky response to Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle commercial, which ends with the lines: 'My jeans are blue. Sydney Sweeney has good genes.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Critics had already panned the campaign's tagline for being cringe-inducing and outdated—and Hunt's quip landed like a well-timed jab. Even Gracie's mom, Tavia Hunt, joined the fun in the comments, writing, 'I love your jeans. And your genes.. 💙' A perfectly layered compliment that fed into the post's playful energy. When fashion becomes a soft battlefield Though Gracie Hunt has never been one to court Hollywood drama, this subtle fashion feud shows she knows how to use her platform with precision. Her blend of glam and grit continues to define her personal brand—whether she's posting from NFL sidelines or sandy Florida beaches, like she did recently with boyfriend Derek Green, son of former Chiefs QB Trent Green. As for Sweeney, she hasn't responded to the apparent dig, staying busy with acting gigs and brand deals. But this moment highlights the new battleground of modern celebrity culture, where fashion campaigns and Instagram captions can blur into clever rivalries—each line parsed by eager fans for deeper meaning. Gracie might not have a script to deliver, but her captions? They're delivering drama in the most stylish way possible.
