Overview
- A large tree fell onto Kshitij Dholakia’s parked car during heavy rain, leaving the vehicle badly damaged and the actor unhurt, according to videos he posted on Instagram.
- In his posts, Dholakia showed officials clearing the tree and wrote that he was grateful no one was hurt while tagging and thanking Mumbai Police and the Mumbai Fire Brigade.
- Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation data shows multiple locations recorded more than 140 mm of rain, and the India Meteorological Department issued an Orange Alert warning of more heavy showers and strong winds.
- Friday’s intense overnight downpour caused widespread waterlogging and slowed road and rail traffic across Mumbai, with falling trees reported in several neighbourhoods and emergency teams responding to multiple incidents.
- Dholakia is the son of television actor Urvashi Dholakia and recently debuted on-screen in Naagin 7, and the episode underscores how heavy monsoon rains expose urban trees and infrastructure to ongoing risk and property damage.
