Vicky Kaushal has shown deep concern for the flood situation in Punjab. He used social media to commend those helping affected communities. "We stand together in this," he stated, acknowledging the efforts of individuals travelling to assist those in need.

Punjab is grappling with severe flooding as the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers overflow due to heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. The hardest-hit areas include Gurdaspur, Fazilka, Kapurthala, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur, Hoshiarpur, and Amritsar. Over 1,000 villages and more than 61,000 hectares of farmland are affected.

On September 1, several Indian celebrities like Diljit Dosanjh, Gippy Grewal, and Sonu Sood extended their support to flood victims. Sonu Sood launched a helpline (+91 7888675107) through his Sood Charity Foundation to assist those in need.

Vicky Kaushal shared a heartfelt message on Instagram: "Scrolling seeing all that's happening in Punjab and other regions in the north... villages flooded, people suffering. Praying for all those who are affected. Rabb meher bakshe." He praised those helping by saying, "Kuch Rabb de bande jede pindaach jaa jaa ke madad karde paye aa... onhanu salaam."
