Amidst the unprecedented rainfall in Lahore, Pakistani actress Nadia Jamil’s house faced severe waterlogging, with the exterior of the property being submerged in water.
Nadia Jamil took to Twitter to share videos of her house, revealing that the front porch was completely inundated. She expressed concern for her 76-year-old mother who was “trapped” inside, highlighting the inability to enter or exit the house.
As the rain persisted, Jamil expressed the fear that if it continued for another hour, the water would enter the house. She mentioned her brother wading through chest-deep water to provide food for the children and their mother in the staff quarters.
Taking to Instagram, Jamil described the situation in Lahore during the heavy rains and shared a video sent by someone else. She expressed worry for her mother’s predicament and the need to navigate through the sewerage water for groceries, particularly due to their proximity to the overflowing Ganda Nala.
Jamil also expressed sympathy for those living in shanty towns and low-lying areas near open sewerage canals, who are vulnerable to waterborne diseases such as typhoid. She raised awareness about Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba that causes a brain-eating virus, advising people to swim only in chlorinated water and avoid inhaling water through the nose.

My 76 year old mother is trapped in the house… again. I’m regretting the fact that I stayed with my best friend last night. We were celebrating my sons birthday and I crashed there. Now I can’t get to my mother. And she can’t get out. In another hour, if the rains continue, this… pic.twitter.com/Y6d4ml5FbF
