While life in flood-hit Chennai is limping back to normalcy with help from the armed forces, megastar Amitabh Bachchan and actress Anushka Sharma have “saluted” the efforts being made by the real life “heroes” to rescue people.
Amitabh and Anushka took to Twitter on Monday to appreciate the efforts made by the Indian Army and Indian Air Force personnel.
“Let us not forget the heroes in the Army and the Air Force that work selflessly for CHENNAI! SALUTE,” tweeted Amitabh.
Anushka even posted a video in which a chopper can be seen airlifting a pregnant woman.
