Bollywood director Kunal Deshmukh, who was in Kathmandu when a powerful earthquake rocked Nepal and neighbouring places yesterday, is safe and waiting to return.
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt took to twitter to inform that he spoke to the "Jannat" director, who assured him that he was fine.
"Just talked to Kunal and Sonali. They are both sitting on the Kathmandu runway waiting for an aircraft to carry them back home," Bhatt posted on twitter.
Deshmukh, who has directed films like "Raja Natwarlal", "Jannat 2", and "Tum Mile", apparently told Bhatt that the people of Nepal are doing their best to help them.
"'The people of Nepal are doing everything possible to help us', he said as the ground below his feet shook!," Bhatt tweeted.
A powerful earthquake, measuring 7.9 on Richter scale, flattened houses and buildings in Nepal yesterday, killing over 2000 people so far.
