In early August 2026, Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda joined a flood‑relief distribution organised by the NGO Global Sikhs in Sivasagar, Assam. He helped hand out rations and household items, served langar at a local Gurudwara and urged the public to contribute to the response to floods that had killed 82 people and displaced nearly 13,000 residents. A few days later, Hooda travelled to the Golaghat district, visiting Sarupothar village and continuing aid distribution in multiple flood‑hit districts, including Sivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat and Nagaon, where more than ~~178 000~~ 178,000 people were stranded.
