Mumbai rains: Karisma Kapoor shares pics of waterlogged 'India's Best Dancer 5' set
Mumbai, July 6
Heavy rains have left several parts of Mumbai waterlogged, disrupting traffic and daily life across the city. Yet, despite the challenging conditions, actor Karisma Kapoor made it to the sets of India's Best Dancer 5.
She even shared a video from the sets, giving fans a glimpse of the rain-soaked surroundings and the waterlogged conditions.
"#IndiasBestDancerSeason5 Mumbai Rains," she captioned the post.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday chaired a high-level meeting at the Disaster Control Room in Mantralaya to review the situation after heavy rains and landslides lashed various parts of the state, leaving at least seven people dead in rain-related incidents across Mumbai.
He also confirmed that schools and colleges will remain closed.
Amidst all this, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) reported multiple fatal incidents.
In Mankhurd, six people lost their lives following a building collapse.
In another incident in Kurla (West), a 63-year-old man died after a tree fell on a road near Nehru Nagar. Across the city, the BMC received 423 complaints of tree or branch falls and 29 complaints of wall or house collapses.
In Jogeshwari, seven people were injured when a tree collapsed on a house, while two others were injured in Worli in a similar mishap.
Transport services in the region have been severely impacted. On the Central Railway, services between Karjat and Khopoli remain suspended, while Western Railway services between Vasai and Virar are also halted. The CM noted that Palghar and Vasai-Virar are among the worst-affected areas.

Mumbai rains are no joke yaar! Been stuck in traffic for 3 hours yesterday near Andheri. But good to see Karisma still coming to shoots – shows real Mumbai spirit. Hope the BMC gets their act together with drainage and tree management before next monsoon 🙏
As someone visiting from London, this is surreal. We get rain but nothing like this. The fact that schools are closed and normal life is paralyzed while a film set still operates – classic India priorities. But the resilience of Mumbaikars is something else. Stay safe everyone!
Bhai, 7 people dead and we're discussing Karisma Kapoor's dedication? The real heroes are the BMC workers clearing those 423 tree falls and the rescue teams saving people. Our infrastructure is a joke every monsoon. Same story, different year. :( #MumbaiRains
Lolo is such a trooper! But CM Fadnavis needs to address why railway services between Karjat-Khopoli and Vasai-Virar are still suspended? People can't get to work or home. The common Mumbaikar is suffering while celebrities get press for showing up to a flooded set. Priorities people!
Building collapse in Mankhurd, tree falls in Jogeshwari, 7 injured in Worli – this is tragic. And here we are talking about a TV show set getting waterlogged. Not saying Karisma shouldn't share her experience, but media focus on this while people are dying shows disconnect between celebs and ground reality. 😤
