The recent Cyclone Michaung and the subsequent floods in Chennai left many, including notable film personalities, stranded. Among those affected were actor Vishnu Vishal and his wife Jwala Gutta, as well as Bollywood star Aamir Khan, who has reportedly been in the city for the last few months in connection with his mother’s medical treatment.
Both actors were trapped in their waterlogged residences at the Karapakkam area in OMR, Chennai, and were rescued by fire and rescue teams.
Vishnu Vishal shared his ordeal on X and expressed gratitude to the firemen for their timely assistance.
Later, actor Ajith Kumar visited Aamir Khan and Vishnu Vishal. He offered essential supplies and coordinated travel arrangements for the actors and others in the neighbourhood who were affected by the floods.
Vishnu Vishal shared a photo with Aamir Khan and Ajith Kumar and praised Ajith's swift response and assistance. “After getting to know our situation through a common friend, the ever helpful Ajith Sir came to check on us and helped with travel arrangements for our villa community members…Love you Ajith Sir!” Vishnu wrote.
The post has since gone viral, and fans are applauding Ajith’s gesture.

TN minister lauds Aamir Khan
Tamil Nadu Minister TRB Rajaa has commended Aamir Khan for his humility during the crisis.
Responding to Vishnu’ post, he wrote, “Thanks for the appreciation Vishnu Vishal and please do thank the gentleman next to you for being such a class human being! Astounding that he didn’t try to pull any strings to be rescued! Awesome to see him being so grounded and WAITING HIS TURN to be rescued just like any of our fellow citizens.” His message praising Aamir for not leveraging his status for preferential treatment highlights the importance of patience in times of crisis and is an example of the resilience and solidarity shown by individuals in trying times.
