Alongside the picture, she reflected on her fondness for winter weather while admitting that nothing compares to Mumbai during the monsoon season.
Sharing the post, she wrote, "In my New York winter boots! I've always loved winters... Any excuse to get out there in the cold, away from the Mumbai heat. But come monsoon, and you'll see me come hurtling back to Bombay! Because more than the winter, I love the Bombay rains. Any day now, can't wait..."

Love that she's so passionate about Bombay rains. But honestly, as someone who lives here, monsoon is a mixed bag - the romance is great, but the waterlogging and traffic jams are a nightmare. Still, can't deny the charm when you're sipping cutting chai at a tapri.
Such a lovely throwback! Deepti Naval's films like Chashme Buddoor and Mirch Masala are classics. And yes, Mumbai's monsoon has its own soul - it's why we put up with the chaos. The city comes alive when it rains. ❤️☔
I think we all secretly love the Bombay rains but hate the potholes and delayed locals. Deepti ji's sentiment is pure nostalgia - reminds me of college days in Mumbai, getting drenched and eating bhajiyas. Good times!
Respect for Deepti Naval as an artist, but I have to say - it would be nice if celebrities also spoke about how monsoon affects the common person, like the flooding in slums or roads becoming unusable. Still, her love for the city's rains is genuine.
I lived in Mumbai for work for 2 years and the monsoon there is unlike anywhere else! Even though I'm from the UK now, I miss that feeling of the first rain after a long dry spell. Deepti ji's words hit home. 🏡☔
