Tamil Nadu is battling one if its worst floods in a century as several parts of the state have been submerged and cut off from essential supplies. People across India have been sending relief materials that includes food, blankets and other necessary supplies to Chennai so that the city can return to normalcy.

Popular South Indian actor Siddharth was one of the victims of the rains. His house in the city was submerged, but that didn’t stop him from stepping out and helping those in need.

“I freaked out that I had lost my house for the first time… three studios, three cars… And then I felt bad for the middle class who lost so much in just one day,” said the actor.

He is actively participating in relief operations in Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu with RJ Balaji and other young volunteers. Here are some tweets from Actor Siddharth which tell a tale of his efforts during Chennai floods:

Please spread the word. Volunteers need to protect themselves. Tetanus shot. Careful of open wounds. Skin diseases are common. Be safe.

Pouring in Chennai. Please stay indoors. Unless you are in teams do not head out for rescue or relief work. Contact #ChennaiMicro for help.

Please form your own teams collect items and head to relief areas yourself if possible. We are already operating at full capacity. Do it!
