Heavy rain accompanied by lightning and thunderstorms lashed Delhi-NCR on Friday. Though it provided much-needed relief from the scorching heat, the downpour also disrupted everyday life in many parts - from waterlogging in different areas to cancelled flights to the collapse of a roof at terminal 1 of Delhi Airport. The rain prompted many to take to X to share visuals of the downpour or how they are handling it. Among them is Edelweiss MF’s Radhika Gupta, who shared what she did after getting stuck in flooded Delhi.

“What do you when Delhi is flooded on the day you are supposed to have a roadshow? Ditch the car for the fabulous metro, enjoy Chole Bhatura and Rajma Chawal like a Delhi kid, and keep working… and as luck would have it have a record roadshow turnout! The spirit of Mumbai meets the rain of Delhi!,” Radhika Gupta wrote.
