Cyclone Ditwah swept northward across Sri Lanka on Friday, leaving 46 people dead and 23 missing amid severe flooding. Officials warned that more torrential rain and strong winds were expected over the next 12 hours, with most casualties caused by landslides triggered by over 300mm of rainfall in the island’s eastern and central regions. Amid the escalating weather situation, actors Chetan Hansraj and Urvashi Dholakia, along with producer Ektaa Kapoor, arrived in Colombo for a fan-meet event on Friday. Their flight landed just as conditions began to deteriorate, adding an unexpected twist to their work trip.
