So many locals, pilgrims, tourists and travellers being stranded is very disturbing,&quot; says the actor who is deeply pained by the devastation, destruction and deaths caused by nature&#39;s fury, and thinking of ways to help the people of the state. &quot;There wasn&#39;t even a cinema hall where I grew up. Our entire family lived in a state of uncomplicated simplicity. Although we were a poor family, the place holds wonderful memories for me. It pains me to hear and see so much havoc being created by nature in my beautiful homeland. I think we&#39;re paying for our sins of economical devastation,&quot; says Nawaz.
