Mumbai: Actress Nora Fatehi, who was last seen in the comedy movie ‘Madgaon Express’, has evacuated the state of California in the USA after the wildfires ravaged Los Angeles.

In the video, “Hey guys, so I’m in Los Angeles, and the wildfires are crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this. This is insane. We just got an evacuation order like five minutes ago. So I quickly packed all my stuff and I’m evacuating out of here out of this area. I’m gonna go near the airport and chill there because I have a flight today and I really hope I can catch it”.

And I hope it doesn’t get canceled because this sh** is scary. I have never experienced this before so I’m gonna keep you guys updated. Hopefully, I can get out in time. And yeah, man, I really hope people are safe. Like this is insane. I’ve never seen anything like this before, like just uncontrollable fires. Crazy. I’m gonna keep you guys updated”.
