Mumbai’s heavy rainfall has led to severe waterlogging across the city. The downpour has not only affected common people but also top Bollywood celebrities. Homes of the Bachchans, Devgns, Deols, and Chopras were seen flooded with muddy water after two days of relentless rain.
A vlogger named Sagar Thakur shared videos showing the impact of waterlogging outside Amitabh Bachchan’s Juhu home, Prateeksha. In the video, muddy water reached up to the calves outside the gates. Sagar even walked inside to ask the watchman about the situation, but was soon asked to leave.
He said in his vlog, “Aap dekh sakte hain kitna paani bhar chuka hai. Kaha jaa raha hai Amitabh Bachchan khud aae the wiper leke, paani nikaal rahe the. Kitna bhi paisa ho, 1000 crore, Mumbai ki baarish se koi nahi bach paaya hai. Na Ambani, na Amitabh Bachchan.”
The clip went viral as it showed how even the richest and most powerful cannot escape Mumbai’s monsoon woes.
The vlogger also showed waterlogged streets outside the homes of Ajay Devgn and Kajol, Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji, and the Deol family. All the surrounding lanes in Juhu and Bandra were filled with rainwater, making it difficult to move around.
Online, the video sparked an intense reaction. Some noted that common people deal with harder circumstances regularly, and many expressed sympathy for Mumbaikars.
One user commented, “Kyu bade logo ke ghar dikha rahe ho garibo ka bhi dikhao sach ka samna karwo hum bhi Mumbai me hi rahte he.” Another said, “Kyu Amitabh Bachchan se bhagwan ki khas dosti h kya jo unke ghar pani nahi bharega?”
Some also highlighted the city’s unique spirit. “Mumbai always keeps you humble,” read another comment.
The Maharashtra Disaster Management Department confirmed that heavy rains and floods killed six people in the last 24 hours. In the Nanded district, five people are still missing.
Authorities have deployed 18 NDRF teams and six SDRF teams across different districts. In Mukhed, Nanded, SDRF officials rescued 293 stranded people. The government has issued a red alert for Mumbai and nearby areas, urging people to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel.
The viral films demonstrate how everyone is impacted by Mumbai's floods, from simple people to Bollywood celebrities. As rescue efforts continue and families contend with waterlogging within their homes, the city's resilience is going to be put to the test.\
