Torrential rain has its own mood. When it pours, it does not care whether you are an ordinary person or a massive Bollywood superstar.

The biggest talking point has been 'Pratiksha' and 'Janak', the Juhu bungalows of megastar Amitabh Bachchan. A few videos went viral on social media, clearly showing muddy water filled up to the knees right outside his main entrance gate. The roads that are usually packed with fans are now submerged. Similarly, Ajay Devgn and Kajol's beautiful bungalow 'Shivshakti', which sits near the Juhu coast, got surrounded by water from all sides. The roads out there have so much water that stepping out without a big SUV is next to impossible. The streets of Juhu and Versova are in a similar state, with water clogging right outside the houses of Sunny Deol, Aditya Chopra, and Rani Mukerji. Karishma Kapoor showed her vanity van surrounded by water outside her house.

Mumbai Rains Enter Ashnoor Kaur's Home

The rain havoc did not just stop at low-rise bungalows; it reached inside high-rise buildings too. A water pipeline burst in TV actress Ashnoor Kaur's high-rise apartment balcony, causing heavy waterlogging that slowly leaked onto her living room floor. On the brighter side, some stars found their own ways to spend time during this lockdown. Twinkle Khanna shared a video of herself sitting inside, reading a section from her book 'Welcome to Paradise'. Meanwhile, Zoya Akhtar posted a black-and-white clip of rain droplets and trees swaying in the wind from her window, and Malaika Arora showed the view outside her house while advising fans to stay safe.

Hina Khan's Emotional Post on Mumbai Rains

But what actress Hina Khan wrote about the whole situation really touched everyone's heart. Hina mentioned that no matter what happens, this city never stops. The maximum city keeps moving even when it is fully covered by dark clouds and water. The real strength of Mumbai is it's people, who have to step out to earn their daily bread in this expensive city. They do not have the luxury to sit at home and enjoy tea and fritters. Whether it is for regular work, a hospital emergency, or a film shoot, people just do not stop. That is the actual reality of our Aamchi Mumbai.

Actor Abhishek Banerjee refreshed his old memories, recalling how it was raining exactly like this rainy day, when he first moved from Delhi to Mumbai back in 2008. He said the beauty of Mumbai is that whoever needs to reach somewhere always finds a way, though the local administration definitely needs to fix the drainage system.

Actress Adah Sharma jokingly said that during rainy days, even Google Maps gets emotional and starts lying about the traffic. Because of this, she leaves her house way before time just to avoid flooded streets and stranded auto-rickshaws while heading to her shoots.

Singer Akriti Kakar shared that she utilizes her time stuck in traffic jams to write new music, while actors like Deven Bhojani are relying on carpooling these days to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

Amidst all this chaos, Bollywood is not just sitting back and talking, they are actively extending a helping hand. Big superstars like Aamir Khan and Salman Khan made heavy donations to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund and local NGOs to help people living in low-lying flooded areas and slums. Many production houses are sending relief material, dry rations, and clean water bottles to badly affected areas like Palghar and Vasai. Along with this, many celebrities are using their social media platforms not for posting pictures, but for sharing important emergency helpline numbers and animal rescue contacts so that correct information reaches those in deep trouble.
