Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar has officially become a member of the Bihar Disaster Relief Fund (BDRF) to aid flood‑stricken areas and has appealed to the public for donations.
Severe monsoon rains have caused widespread flooding across several districts of Bihar, displacing thousands and damaging homes, infrastructure and crops. In response to the crisis, actress Bhumi Pednekar announced her association with the Bihar Disaster Relief Fund (BDRF), a state‑run initiative that channels resources to the most affected communities.
Pednekar, known for her socially‑conscious roles, said she is joining BDRF to lend her voice and visibility to the relief effort. She urged citizens, especially her fan base, to contribute financially or volunteer their time, emphasizing that collective action can accelerate rehabilitation and restore livelihoods.
The BDRF has set up relief camps, distributed food packets and is coordinating with local NGOs to provide medical aid. Authorities have welcomed the actress’s involvement, noting that celebrity endorsements often boost public participation in emergency drives. The fund continues to seek donations from individuals and corporate entities to sustain its operations until the flood‑affected areas recover fully.
