Mumbaikars are facing a lot of problems due to rains and this has become a hot trending topic on social media with people uploading pics of water-logged roads, vehicles which are submerged in water, people stuck in rains as well as the videos of problems that common public is undergoing.

Amidst all this, Bollywood actress Lara Dutta who is also upset with rainwater issue had the best ever solution of her problem! In fact, what Lara just did proves that all Indian housewives are the same, be it a common woman or a celebrity. For keeping the rainwater out of her home, she used grand slam towels cherished for years by Mahesh Bhupathi, her husband and a well-known player of tennis.
Lara took to Twitter and shared a pic with caption, “Putting our Wimbledon,US Open, Aus Open &French Open towels to good use!@Maheshbhupathi #MumbaiRain.Stay safe & indoors if possible folks!”
