Earlier, in an instagram post, Ruslaan also thanked his host and while sharing pictures with him, he wrote, “Nakul Mahant - a real-life hero Instead of worrying about losing one of his most precious assets. Nakul made sure that all his hotel guests which included our shooting crew of 40 ppl reached safety. He made timely decisions and all through this ordeal we had a roof over our head and hot food. His smiling face always made me feel that no matter what I will be safe.”
