Sonakshi Sinha calls out Mumbai's civic negligence as monsoon rains clog the streets: 'Shee yaar… that's too bad'
As Mumbai's monsoon season unleashes, bringing with it its predictable fury of waterlogged roads and notorious potholes. Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha didn't hold back while addressing her frustration regarding it. The 'Dabangg' star took to Instagram, using her signature sarcasm to highlight the city's persistent infrastructure woes and contrast it with advanced road solutions seen elsewhere. A sarcastic jab at finding concrete solutions In her Instagram story, the actress shared a video depicting an innovative road construction method, reportedly from Germany. This futuristic technology enables roads to absorb water, effectively preventing waterlogging and eliminating potholes – a scenario that, as she stated: "Mumbaikars can only dream of", amidst their annual monsoon struggles. Her accompanying caption was a direct, pointed jab at municipal authorities: "Whaaat??? You don't dig all year every year instead of finding a 'concrete' solution while the city is underwater in the rains?? Shee yaar… that's too bad (sic)." Her cutting remarks perfectly capture the public's exasperation with Mumbai's crumbling infrastructure, which frustratingly remains unaddressed despite consistent public outcry each year. City's annual chaotic monsoons Sonakshi's comments come as a result of the seemingly never-ending saga of infrastructural facilities of the city. Upscale areas like Napean Sea Road and Andheri quickly submerged within hours of the season's first significant downpour. This chaos led to severe traffic jams, stranded commuters, and a renewed wave of criticism directed at the city's civic bodies. Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri also voiced his concern for the same as he shared a video of the flooded Napean Sea Road – a locality home to some of India's wealthiest residents. He posted on X (formerly Twitter): "Napean Sea Road, home to India's top billionaires, top ministers & officials, chokes in one shower. So do Delhi, Bengaluru and other cities, year after year (sic)." This collective uproar from both citizens and celebrities underscores a growing sentiment: major Indian cities, despite their economic and cultural importance, remain woefully unprepared for their annual weather patterns. Sonakshi Sinha's upcoming projects On the professional front, Sonakshi Sinha has a busy schedule ahead. She's set to star in the psychological thriller 'Nikita Roy', alongside Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal, which is slated for a June 27, 2025 theatrical release. Additionally, she recently wrapped up filming for her Telugu debut, 'Jatadhara', where she stars opposite Sudheer Babu.

Sonakshi Sinha Slams Mumbai Civic Authorities Over Potholes: 'Shee Yaar... Too Bad'
Last Updated: Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha took a sharp and sarcastic dig at Mumbai's crumbling infrastructure during the monsoon season. As the monsoon season rolls into Mumbai with its usual fury, bringing along familiar tales of flooded roads and crater-sized potholes, Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha has weighed in—with her trademark sarcasm intact. The Dabangg star took to Instagram to share a video of an innovative road construction technology allegedly being used in Germany. This futuristic method enables roads to absorb water, preventing waterlogging and eliminating potholes—something Mumbaikars can only dream of. In her Instagram story, Sonakshi wrote, 'Whaaat??? You don't dig all year every year instead of finding a 'concrete' solution while the city is underwater in the rains?? Shee yaar… that's too bad (sic)." Her cheeky tone was unmistakably directed at municipal authorities who, year after year, fail to address the city's crumbling infrastructure despite repeated public outcry. Sonakshi's comment comes on the heels of yet another monsoon-triggered infrastructural collapse in Mumbai. Areas such as Napean Sea Road and Andheri were submerged under water within hours of the first proper downpour. The chaos led to traffic jams, stranded commuters, and a renewed chorus of criticism directed at the city's civic bodies. Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, too, joined in the criticism. Sharing a video of the flooded Napean Sea Road—home to some of India's wealthiest residents—he wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Napean Sea Road, home to India's top billionaires, top ministers & officials, chokes in one shower. So do Delhi, Bengaluru and other cities, year after year (sic)." The uproar only reiterates a growing sentiment among citizens and celebrities alike—that Indian cities, despite their status and stature, remain woefully unprepared for annual weather patterns. Meanwhile, on the professional front, Sonakshi Sinha has a packed slate. She will headline the psychological thriller Nikita Roy, co-starring Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal, scheduled to hit theatres on June 27, 2025. Additionally, she has wrapped up filming her Telugu debut Jatadhara, where she stars opposite Sudheer Babu. First Published:
