They are still counting
the losses. Television actors, caught unawares
in last week's deluge, are just realising
what they lost in the waters.
Anuraddha Prasad, BAG Films' managing director,
who spends a large part of her time in Mumbai
these days to oversee shooting for her Dekho
Magar Pyar Se and other shows, was stuck
in her office and dropped her cell phone
in the water when she stepped out. "My
entire database is messed up," she
moans. Luckily, Anurradha was able to be
on board the first flight out to New Delhi
on Thursday morning.

Ronit Bose Roy was not as lucky. Still
in coma in Kasautii Zindagi Kay and battling
domestic crises in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi
Bahu Thi, he was stuck at Sankraman
Studios for several hours and couldn't move
his Mercedes to a safer location. His cell
phone intact, all he could do was ensure
that his families (including newborn Aadore)
were safe and dry at home. The Merc meanwhile
got completely submerged and is a complete
state of disrepair!
Ajay Gehi was luckier. He quit the Miilee
shoot early at MBC studios in Powai
early on Tuesday afternoon, but his Honda
City got stuck in the rising waters. Leaving
it on the footpath outside a residential
colony, he trudged for 18 hours till he
reached his home in Shivaji Park in central
Mumbai. In the shoulder deep waters he waded
through alone, Ajay lost his wallet and
mobile phone, and finds himself in a predicament

to Anurradha's. The City stayed fine,
though, but Ajay now says," I think
I shall sell off the car and buy myself
a bicycle and ride it to and from work.
Safer, and I will get my exercise too!"

experiences ever. The actress who stars
in Dekho Magar Pyaar Se had to leave
her car behind after it got submerged on
the fantasy land road. "I was traveling
with my driver and make up man. It was such
a traumatic experience; the water flow was
so strong and thanks goodness for the people
who helped us cross. At that time I couldn't
care less about my car and just abandoned
it. I spent the night at my make up man's
place," recalls Shraddha.
Her father's Mitsibushi Lancer however did
not survive the floods and has been left
useless. "I'm glad he made it safe
home at least!" She exclaims.
With a lot many of our beloved actors cumulating
their losses, post the rain debacle, we
wonder whether we should pull someone up
for their fate.
