Mumbai, known for its vibrant culture and bustling streets, often transforms into a watery battleground during the annual monsoon season.
Even the glitzy world of Bollywood isn't spared from the chaos that ensues. In a shocking admission, actress Sunny Leone recently shared her harrowing experience with Mumbai's torrential rains, recounting the unfortunate loss of not one, but three luxury cars.
In a candid conversation with Hindustan Times, Sunny Leone openly confessed her initial unawareness of the sheer intensity of Mumbai's rainy season. With a hint of humour, Leone remarked, "That much rain could fall from the skies!"
Despite her harrowing experience, she shared her love for monsoon and it has not changed ever since she first came to Mumbai.
"I was living in Mumbai, really close to the ocean, when I came to India for work initially. My walls were bleeding, and the moisture did so much to my things... but I loved the weather! Monsoon is probably one of my favourite times of the year. It cools down a bit, I get happy when it starts pouring outside, not to be in it though,” the Ragini MMS 2 actress was quoted saying.
"I have lost three very nice cars to the rains, two in one day. It was horrible, I was crying because in India when you buy imported cars you pay an amazing tax on it. One was an eight-seater Mercedes truck. I was not happy, but it’s okay, things happen, we can replace materialistic things and nobody was hurt." Sunny asserted that now she drives an India-made truck that is built for the monsoons. "I had bought the wrong car, and I love my India-made cars now,” she added.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by both celebrities and commoners alike during Mumbai's monsoon season. Sunny Leone's experience underscores the vulnerability of even the most affluent in the face of nature's fury.
