Amitabh Bachchan was among the scores of Mumbaikars affected by Cyclone Tauktae. It wreaked havoc in Big B’s Juhu Scheme office, Janak. The veteran superstar revealed in his blog post that the place was flooded and the shelter area of his staff was blown away by the gusty winds. “The lashing rains all day, leakages all over, flooding in the vulnerable Janak office.”

He added that the plastic cover sheets being put up for the monsoon were “ripped apart.” Bachchan lauded the efforts of the staff for “stepping out and helping.” Seeing them drenched in their uniforms, he gave them clothes from his wardrobe. “Now they proudly move about as Chelsea and Jaipur Pink Panther supporters in their team shirts and tees, some afloat in them and some squeezing their shape into them.” Nothing like a bit of humour while facing adversity to keep calm.
Earlier on Sunday, Amitabh Bachchan had warned against the effects of cyclone Tauktae in Mumbai. "The effects of the #CycloneTauktae have begun .. rains in Mumbai .. please be safe and protected .. prayers as ever," Big B tweeted on Sunday. He also spoke about the cyclone in a blog post. Taking to his blog, Big B wrote: "Cyclone Tauktae in the Arabian Sea intensifies along the Western Coasts of India .. from the South moving up .. the effects of its arrival have begun here in Mumbai with rain as I write .. the preparations for the monsoon rain sheds had just begun so the vulnerability of leaks, is there and the dealing with rain leakages about is a concern .. we try to make some makeshift arrangements .. but they are weak and not entirely protective. The severity of the monsoons as you all know is massive and all buildings and locations become most vulnerable during those 3-4 months of its presence. The JVPD Scheme is a low lying area and flooding is most imminent .. so."
