The incessant rains have caused havoc in many parts of Himachal Pradesh. Roads, along with vehicles and houses, have been swept away in the floods. Actor Ruslaan Mumtaz, who is in Manali, has also been left stranded due to the flood. He shared a series of Instagram stories giving updates about the harrowing conditions around him.

In the videos, Ruslaan can be seen taking shelter in a garage-like space and conversing with his co-companions. Sharing the post, he wrote, “Home for the night.” The actor also shared a video of his surroundings with the text – The road is not even there now. He said in the video, “Never imagined I would actually get stuck in Manali with no network, no way to get back home as the roads are blocked and I am unable to shoot as well. Tough times in a very very beautiful place. I don’t even know if I should be happy, sad, thankful, grateful, or just enjoy my apple.”
