Kalyan recalls the nightmare

"I along with other members of the unit had climbed a mountain for the shoot under the direction of Shahriar Nazim Joy when the powerful quake first hit the country."

"At first, we could not understand what had happened but moments after the quake, I felt a tremor. Later, my co-artistes had a similar experience. Afterwards, we got together and held each other tightly. At that time, some fell on the ground."

"Sometime later, we felt a fresh tremor and saw the mountain shaking dangerously. We then found the quake wreaking havoc around the area. Later, in a few cars we returned to our lodge with great difficulty and saw complete destruction around us."

On the eve before deadly Nature strikes

"I remembered my parents profoundly during the situation. On the first day of the quake, we spent the entire night in the open sky amid great anxiety and uncertainty. I tried several times to contact my family members in Dhaka but there was no connectivity. When I finally got the line, I immediately logged on to Facebook to inform everyone that we were safe."

"When we finally left the country for Dhaka, we had to wait at Nepal Airport for about an hour which was very painful."

“I can't forget the horrible sight of the Nepal quake. I have been to the captivating mountain country several times on shoots, but its capital now lies in ruins.“

"Now in Dhaka, I'm again busy shooting TV plays but the nightmare of the Nepal earthquake stays with me."
