The 2005 Maharashtra floods impacted many parts of the state including Mumbai, in which approximately 1,094 people died. The city came to a standstill with many having to walk long distances wading through the water to reach home, others had to take shelter at their workplace with no way to commute. Actors Hiten Tejwani, Vatsal Sheth and Deven Bhojani shared their experiences with mid-day.com.

Hiten Tejwani- We were shooting for `Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi` and we only realised it was raining heavily after water started entering the set. The vehicles of people who had parked near the set were floating by then, luckily we had parked away. After a point Gauri (wife) and I had to let go of ours cars and walked home, in knee deep water. We reached home after wading through water in two hours.
