Indian TV actor Iqbal Khan’s family is untraceable in the Jammu and Kashmir floods. Until yesterday (September 8), the actor had been tweeting about his loved ones missing. Iqbal said that while his dad’s area was safe, he was not able to get in touch with his sister. Bollywood Superstar Amitabh Bachchan also retweeted Iqbal’s plea for help.

Here’s what Iqbal has been saying on Twitter: “Anyone in srinagar with the army and a satellite phone? My family is stuck…no phones working ..Please send contact”.

Iqbal is just back from Houston and he has had to face this now. We hope his family is safe and is able to contact him soon. We tried to ask Iqbal on Twitter, but he has not replied as yet. He has meanwhile been retweeting the helpline numbers, some give to him by dancer Mukti Mohan.
