Heavy rains continue to batter Mumbai, but work in the entertainment industry shows no signs of slowing down. Amid widespread waterlogging and the India Meteorological Department's (IMD) red alert for the city, actress Karisma Kapoor offered fans a glimpse of the challenging conditions outside the set of India's Best Dancer 5, where she has been filming despite the relentless downpour.
Taking to Instagram Stories on Monday, Karisma shared a video from Mumbai's Film City, revealing rain-soaked roads and waterlogged surroundings outside the shooting location. Keeping it simple, she captioned the clip, "Mumbai Rains," while tagging the show's official handle and adding the hashtag IndiasBestDancerSeason5.
Despite the adverse weather conditions, shooting for India's Best Dancer Season 5 continued as scheduled. Karisma was joined on set by fellow judges Jaaved Jaaferi, Geeta Kapur and Terence Lewis, with the production team reportedly taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the cast and crew.
While the rains have disrupted normal life across Mumbai, film and television shoots have largely continued without major cancellations. Several production houses are said to be working with revised schedules and additional safety measures as the city grapples with heavy rainfall.
Just a day before reporting to work, Karisma attended the mehendi ceremony of Anshula Kapoor in Mumbai. She was spotted with several members of the Kapoor family, including Boney Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region following incessant rainfall over the past few days. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has advised residents to avoid stepping out unless absolutely necessary and stay away from waterlogged roads, beaches, old buildings, trees, electric poles and hoardings.
The heavy showers have led to traffic snarls and waterlogging across several parts of the city, while schools and colleges remain shut. Many offices have also shifted employees to work from home. Even as Mumbai battles another spell of intense monsoon showers, Karisma's latest post serves as a reminder that, for many in the entertainment industry, the cameras continue to roll regardless of the weather.
