In a video she shared on her Instagram Stories earlier, the 40-year-old actor said, "I'm so sorry. This is the reason I haven't been able to make a video. I knew I would break down. Sivasagar and Nazira are where I grew up. I was born there, and my schooling and college were all there."

Speaking about her family's situation, the Saath Nibhaana Saathiya actor revealed, "Sadly and unfortunately, my mother is still stuck in Nazira." She added that, by God's grace, their old house has not been completely flooded. However, the devastation to her grandmother and aunt's house has been severe. "Everything is finished. Nothing is left," she said, adding, "As you can see in the videos, there is absolutely nothing remaining."
