Shabana
Azmi:
"I
had
to
go
for
a
wedding
to
Delhi.
But
I
couldn't
reach
the
airport.
But
that
was
not
a
major
concern
for
me.
I
was
far
more
anxious
for
the
plight
of
slum
dwellers.
Mumbai's
first
priority
should
be
to
put
in
place
storm-water
drainage
in
a
planned
manner
for
the
next
100
years."
Ekta
Kapoor:
"It
was
a
terrible
time
for
me.
My
basement
got
flooded.
I
had
to
send
my
cars
to
the
neighbours'
building.
I
couldn't
bunk
office.
So
I
braved
the
torrential
rains
.
But
several
of
my
colleagues
couldn't
make
it
as
our
office
cars
got
stuck
in
the
middle
of
the
road.
This
shouldn't
happen
in
Mumbai."
Kangana
Ranaut:
"I
was
struck
at
home.
I
had
to
go
for
a
narration
and
a
photo
shoot.
Both
got
cancelled.
Everyone
was
scared
to
step
out.
Could
this
really
happen
in
Mumbai?
Back
home
in
my
little
town
in
Himachal
heavy
rains
mean
chutti.
But
nobody
can
afford
to
take
a
day
off
in
Mumbai.
It's
such
a
shame.
BMC
should
immediately
take
steps
to
avoid
this
situation
in
the
monsoon."
Upen
Patel:
"I
chilled
out
at
home.
I
sat
by
my
window
with
a
view
outside
and
just
stared
at
the
rain.
This
always
calms
me.
But
I
had
the
choice
of
staying
at
home
and
enjoying
the
rains
indoors.
What
about
the
thousands
of
people
who
had
to
step
out?
Women
and
children
were
stranded.
And
what
about
health
emergencies
for
elderly
people?
