House flooded. Moving to the terrace. God save Tamil Nadu. pic.twitter.com/zf1Q18DSGx
— Siddharth (@Actor_Siddharth) December 1, 2015The actor is also helping out those affected by the downpour. The actor urged his followers to de-clutter roads and has been operating relief work.
Rain is down to drizzle in some parts. May the dawn bring hope and relief to our people. Be safe. Go out only in groups. Pray. #TNflood
— Siddharth (@Actor_Siddharth) December 1, 2015If you are not part of relief work please stay indoors. People crowding bridges to see flood sights are a nuisance. Stay home. #TNflood
