Earthquake leaves several Bollywood stars shaken

New Delhi: A host of Bollywood celebrities experienced the earthquake which shook large parts of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan on Monday, while they were in different parts of the country. And they prayed for everyone's well being.


B-Town celebrities like Ranvir Shorey, Ali Zafar and Vivek Oberoi among many took to social media platforms after the earthquake, which measured over 7.5 on the Richter scale. The India Meteorological Department said the epicentre of the quake was in the Hindu Kush region in Afghanistan.

"Sultan" director Ali Abbas Zafar was scouting locations for his forthcoming Salman Khan-starrer in New Delhi when an earthquake rocked the city.

The director took to Twitter to share his experience as he posted: “Location scouting Delhi for @SultanTheMovie and rocked by the #earthquake... Well action is about to begin.”

He also shared an image of India Gate with people gathering around the landmark.

Delhi and neighbouring areas were hit by a 7.5 Richter Scale quake, with its epicentre in Afghanistan, which jolted large parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India. The tremors led to panic among people.

Produced by Aditya Chopra under his Yash Raj Films banner, "Sultan" is reportedly based on the life of a wrestler and the "Dabangg" star will be seen in the lead role. His leading lady in the film is yet to be announced.

Here's what the celebrities had to say:
