After witnessing nature's fury in the form of tropical cyclone Phailin, celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit took to micro-blogging site Twitter to share the loss and grief of all those affected.
Phailin is said to be one of the biggest cyclones to hit India's coast in 14 years. At least seven people lost their lives as the cyclone, accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds, swept coastal Odisha Saturday night, according to official sources Sunday.
Here's what the celebrities had to say:
Amitabh Bachchan: The fury of the gods in cyclone Phailin! Be careful, beware and be protected and be in prayer!
Madhuri Dixit: My prayers go out to all the people affected by cyclone Phailin. May God give them strength to overcome this ordeal.
Akshay Kumar: My prayers with all those impacted by nature's wrath. Hoping for calm in Odisha, sadly that's all we can do at this moment. Phailin.
