After years, Mumbai as a city has faced a power cut. Many are struggling to even access their basic necessities like mobile phones, since there is no place to charge it. Bollywood celebrities have also come out and either criticized the government, or informed what is available at the time, or made a funny video.
The best reactions came from Kunal Kemmu, Kangana Ranaut and Amitabh Bachchan - in that order. While Kunal made a funny video, Kangana once again took a dig at the Maharashtra government. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachhan, who turned 78 on his birthday a day back, kept his fans informed about what they could access during the blackout.
"Entire city in power outage .. somehow managing this message .. keep calm all shall be well .. Amitabh Bachchan," he shared, also adding, "Dongles working .. Vodafone is working for me."

Meanwhile Kangana took a dig at the Maharashtra government, who is fighting a case against her in Bombay High Court. While quarantining in Himachal Pradesh, she tweeted, "#Powercut in Mumbai, meanwhile Maharashtra government क-क-क.......कंगना ।"

Kunal Kemmu won the cake with a reaction video between when electricity goes anywhere else in India vs when it goes in Mumbai. PS: Watch till the end to enjoy it to the fullest.
Ali Fazal had an equally quirky reaction. Sharing a blurred photo of him, he wrote, "Bombay electricity kaputt! Phone is melting." Abhishek Bachchan, on the other hand, shared an image that read, "Why is everyone so surprised? It's 2020. Someone had to switch the power off..."

Meanwhile, TV actor Divyanka Tripathi shared, “Just got off work. Have nothing to do, nowhere to go. Can someone please tell me why is the entire city suffering such a major power cut?”
Anupam Kher and Armaan Malik, on the other hand, had a similar reaction. Kher wrote, "Batti Gul," while Malik shared, "lights out" (both of which happen to be movie names too).
