Cinema VinesIn the wake of the July 19 floods that devastated Assam, popular YouTuber Abhishek Malhan—known online as Fukra Insaan—has stepped up to aid the affected communities. While on the ground in the state’s hardest-hit districts, the 32‑year‑old livestreamer shared a video of a food drive and documented his participation in relief work with the True Hope Foundation.
Malhan’s most visible contribution came when he visited Golaghat, the district that suffered the greatest loss, and discovered a Hanuman temple that had been damaged by the rising waters. In a heartfelt Instagram reel, he broke a coconut as a symbolic first act of rebuilding, distributed food to locals, and performed a brief puja before the temple’s reconstruction could begin.
In the caption, he explained that he had pledged ₹5 lakh toward the temple’s construction, but the True Hope Foundation was so enthusiastic about the project that it added an additional ₹15 lakh. Together, the two parties will spend roughly ₹20 lakh to rebuild a “beautiful Hanuman Mandir” in the flood‑affected area. Malhan emphasized that the money itself was secondary to the opportunity to serve a sacred cause, writing, “Bajrang Bali has given me the chance to be part of this holy work.”
Beyond the temple, Malhan has promised to distribute essential items such as mattresses, gas stoves, water purifiers and standing fans to displaced families, and to rebuild seven houses from scratch while repairing three battery rickshaws. He urged fellow influencers to support the ongoing relief efforts, noting that additional help would be needed in the coming days.
The flood relief drive has attracted other high‑profile celebrities, including Salman Khan, Bhumi Pednekar, Randeep Hooda and singer Guru Randhawa, all of whom have pledged resources to help the hardest‑hit regions of Assam recover from the disaster.
