Aamir Khan was stuck in his residence in Karapakkam, Chennai, during the floods. However, he waited his turn to be rescued.

Dr. TRB Rajaa, Tami Nadu’s Minister for Industries, heaped praise on Bollywood star Aamir Khan for not using his influence to get himself out of the flood situation in Chennai and waiting patiently for his turn. The minister said Aamir is a lesson to all those who ‘pull strings’ to get things done.

Aamir, who is currently residing in Chennai for the treatment of his ailing mother, was without electricity and network in Karapakkam, an affluent neighborhood in the city.

Meanwhile, Tamil actor Vishnu Vishal, who was also residing in Karapakkam, took to Twitter to share images of the area which was completely submerged in water.

The actor sought help from the government, and the corporation reacted immediately by sending boats to rescue people from the area. Along with Vishnu, Aamir was also rescued.

Vishnu Vishal then thanked the government for the prompt action and shared pictures with Aamir Khan and the rescue team. He wrote with the photos, “Thanks to the fire and rescue department in helping people like us who are stranded Rescue operations have started in karapakkam.. Saw 3 boats functioning already Great work by the TN govt in such testing times Thanks to all the administrative people who are working relentlessly.”

Sharing the actor’s tweet, Dr. TRB Raaja wrote, “Thanks for the appreciation @TheVishnuVishal 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. Lessons for those who try to pull strings and drop names! Hats off to people like Thiru Khan for being sensitive to the scale of the issue at hand and patiently awaiting their turn. We will continue to stick to our Rescue Schedule.”
