  • Same Story Every Year: Bollywood On Monsoon Woes
The monsoon's touchdown in Mumbai has paralysed the hustle and bustle of the city, and the water-logged jampacked roads led to travel woes for Bollywood celebrities like Riteish Deshmukh and Farhan Akhtar too.
 
Many other celebrities like Juhi Chawla, Richa Chadha, Kunal Kemmu, Boman Irani and Aditi Rao Hydari took to Twitter on Friday to talk about the heavy rainfall of Mumbai, which is trending on the micro-blogging site under the hashtag “#MumbaiRains”.
 
Here's what these celebrities said: 
 
Shatrughan Sinha: Pray for those who are suffering and whose lives are disrupted by the #MumbaiRains.
 
Farhan Akhtar: I think the Mumbaikar tax-payers money is used to block the city's drainage system. #everyyearsamestory.
