Mumbai was hit by heavy rains on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, causing waterlogging in several areas, including the Juhu neighborhood where Amitabh Bachchan's bungalow, Prateeksha, is located. Videos and pictures of the flooded property have been widely shared on social media.

The videos show ankle-deep to knee-deep water surrounding the property, with cars struggling to navigate the waterlogged streets. Many parked vehicles had their tires completely submerged, illustrating the intensity of the downpour in the area. One video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) depicted a father and his young daughter wading through the floodwaters, while others showed people using road dividers to make their way through the inundated streets.

Prateeksha holds historical significance for the Bachchan family. Amitabh Bachchan bought the house in 1976, following the success of the film Sholay. The bungalow is especially significant as it was gifted to his daughter, Shweta Bachchan.

Mumbai has a history of heavy rainfall during the monsoon season, which often leads to flooding and disruption of daily life. The heavy rains affect road traffic and local train services, leaving many people stranded for hours.

Other Bollywood celebrities have also been affected by the heavy rains. Videos shared on social media showed flooded streets and traffic jams, highlighting the widespread impact of the monsoon.
