Revealing how everything started, the Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 actress further shared, "Here’s what happened: It began around 12:45 am ish on April 16th with a gentle breeze, followed by lightning and rain. As hours passed, the rain intensified, exciting me as I love rain. But it was just the beginning. A few hours later, dark clouds blanketed the city, turning day into night in minutes. This was the strongest round yet. The winds were fierce, tossing objects around like toys. We hurried to secure things on the balcony, watching as furniture and other items flying away from others balconies. Suddenly, visibility dropped to zero."

Her caption further read, "Despite enjoying the rain, fear crept in as round four hit later in the evening. We scrambled to clean up and contain water leaking into our home. We’re grateful for everyone’s concern about our well being. Thankfully, we’re all safe. As Dubai and the UAE recover, let’s also remember those who lost their lives during the floods."

Earlier, while speaking about living in Dubai, Erica shared that she doesn't feel she has moved out of her comfort zone as Dubai has always been her home as her family lives there. 

On the professional front, Erica starred in numerous shows like Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi, Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, and so on. She recently starred in a web show titled Love Adhura, opposite Karan Kundrra.
