Ruslaan thanks host

In an earlier Instagram post, Ruslaan thanked his host and posted a picture with him. “Nakul Mahant – a real life hero Instead of worrying about losing one of his most precious assets. Nakul made sure that all his hotel guests which included our shooting crew of 40 ppl reached safety. He made timely decisions and all through this ordeal we had a roof over our head and hot food. His smiling face always made me feel that no matter what I will be safe. ”

Ruslaan added, “This is my first experience of dealing with a natural disaster and my first meeting a real-fromlife hero. You have the prayers and best wishes of all the guests and your staff. We will be back soon to complete our project at @shirarresort and I as promised will be back for a holiday with family and friends.”

Ruslaan recalls watching the natural disaster unfold

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Ruslaan revealed he saw the floods washing down the roads around him. The shoot was taking place inside the hotel and Ruslaan had some free time when he watched the river sweeping all the roads around, and wondered if it was normal. “Nobody was bothered by that ke road kahan ja raha hai (where is the road going). I saw huge trees get swept by the river. Nobody realised until the owner came and asked us to leave. I packed my bags in two hours taking only the essentials like money.”
