A picture of him being taken to safety in a boat has been going viral on social media. Tamil actor Vishnu Vishal who was also stuck with Aamir Khan shared a picture of them being rescued to safety. Vishnu’s wife Jwala Gutta, a national badminton champion can also be spotted in the pictures.
Sharing a selfie with Aamir Khan and the rescue team, Vishal wrote, “Thanks to the fire and rescue department in helping people like us who are stranded. Great work by TN govt in such testing times, thanks to all the administrative people who are working relentlessly.”
Soon, Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar also checked on Aamir Khan after learning that the superstar was stuck in his residence in the heavy rains and helped with his travel arrangements.
“After getting to know our situation through a common friend, the ever-helpful Ajith sir came to check in on us and helped with travel arrangements for our villa community members… Love you Ajith Sir!” Vishal shared a picture with Ajith.
Known for his simplicity, Ajith is seen dressed in cargo pants and a white shirt as he poses for a selfie with Aamir Khan and Vishal. With the help of Ajith, both the actors reached to a safe place.
