    What's the story

    Cyclonic storm Tauktae has wreaked havoc in many states along the Western coast, such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala.

    Its impact was also felt in the entertainment industry.

    Superstar Amitabh Bachchan took to his blog to inform that his office in Mumbai, Janak, was inundated with water, while the shelter area of his staff members was destroyed by the strong winds.

    Post

    'Gave them dress changes urgently, from my own wardrobe'

    Bachchan wrote about the whole ordeal in his blog, informing about the flooding and destruction, while lauding the spirit of his staff members, who continued the repair work even after getting drenched.

    The post read, "Staff simply amazing in such conditions .. their uniforms wet and dripping but they continue.. gave them dress changes urgently in this strife , from my own wardrobe (sic)"

    It wasn't just Bachchan who bore Tauktae's brunt.

    The set of Star Plus' popular TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai in Silvassa was impacted too.

    Actor Karan Kundrra, who recently joined the show, shared pictures, where we see the crew hurrying to get the equipment to safety.

    To note, since shoots are suspended in Maharashtra, many productions shifted bases to maintain continuity.
