<p>Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and several other Bollywood and TV celebrities have urged their fans to stay safe as torrential rains lashed Mumbai, Thane and neighbouring areas.</p>
<p>Heavy rains today pummelled Mumbai and adjoining areas, disrupting rail, road and air services and threw normal life out of gear. Besides the metropolis, adjoining Navi Mumbai and Thane regions were also lashed by incessant downpour since last night, delaying suburban train services and leaving vehicles crawling through waterlogged roads in low-lying areas.</p>
