It’s monsoon season, which in Delhi typically means one of two things: either you’re serenely sipping chai in your veranda watching the rain fall romantically on your plants—or you’re swimming through your living room trying to plug your washing machine into a socket several feet underwater. Recently, Delhiites have found themselves reenacting scenes from Titanic, minus Leonardo DiCaprio, which is always disappointing.
But when Shah Rukh Khan’s fancy-pants bungalow Mannat reportedly experienced a flooded basement after Mumbai rains, it seems even the King of Bollywood isn’t immune to monsoon’s mischievous twinkle. There’s no word whether SRK took selfies while using a bucket, but emotionally, the nation stood in solidarity, offering metaphorical towels and squeaky rubber boots. Some fans even started #MannatMeinWaterPark, proving once again that Indian Twitter is the ultimate coping mechanism.
Of course, this sparked a countrywide reminder of how urban flooding has become the seasonal celebrity no one invited. Drainage systems collapse faster than New Year resolutions, municipal corporations conjure up “action plans” like the Hogwarts Express schedule—beautiful on paper but not remotely useful—and still, every year, we pretend this is “unexpected.” It’s the civic version of leaving your window open in the rain and being shocked your bed got wet.
But maybe there’s hope. Perhaps if every Bollywood celebrity experienced the wrath of monsoon-induced chaos, change would trickle in—pun completely intended. Imagine if Virat Kohli had to make a cover drive across puddles in his parking lot, or if Kareena shared flooding woes from her kitchen island. Surely, a united celebrity water-logged front could accelerate those stormwater management projects faster than you can say “Desi Noah’s Ark.”
Until then, Delhiites continue what they’ve always done: roll up their pants, lift their spirits, and attempt to wade through both literal and metaphorical muck—with style, sarcasm, and stamina. In the end, if SRK can handle a soggy basement with grace, surely we can handle our own version of The Grand Aquatic Misadventure.
Stay dry, Delhi. Or at least bring floaties.
