Here comes the Rain...

These days the Almighty has been generously pouring his love on his beloved humans in the form of heavy rains, or to say in a complete reporting style 'It's been raining Cats and Dogs in Mumbai' since two days now….

While people who love rains are making the best out of it, for those who find the rainy days to be an obstacle to the daily routine of work, it is the good old nursery rhyme 'Rain Rain go Away, Come again Another Day'….that holds good!!

Here are the telly actors talking about their love/hatred for rain, and on their 'rainy' experience!!

Ankur Nayyar:

First thing that comes to your mind when I say rains: It reminds me of my first date in Pathankot. It was raining heavily; I parked my car under a tree and a lake beside. I proposed her and to my luck she said a 'Yes'. It's a memorable moment for me.

Favorite Rain song: As of now I can just think of 'rain is falling chama cham cham' though it's not my favorite song and in a bit seducing genre I would say 'Tip Tip Barsa Paani' (smiles).
 
Do you like rains in Mumbai: I would say I am liking it this season.

Do you believe in the notion 'Rains are romantic' and why: Yes I do believe in the notion because I like the season, mainly because my first date happened in heavy rains (smiles).

And apart from that I just love getting wet in the rains. Recently I went to Carter Road at 2 in the night and got wet sitting on top of my car; it was a blissful feeling.

What would you love to eat on a rainy day: How about Pakodas with cutting chai (Tea).

And if you had to cook something: I would cook Maggi (laughs).

Manish Raisinghani:

First thing that comes to your mind when I say rains: Pune, as I hail from there. Secondly, in Mumbai when we see up towards the sky, the sight is amazing, but down it is full of potholes and puddles.

Favorite Rain song: Title track of Hum Tum

Do you like rains in Mumbai: I love the rains anywhere but in Mumbai, rains comes with a package with traffic and puddles. So I like rains, but not the package.

Do you believe in the notion 'Rains are romantic' and why: Indeed it is because the weather gets so beautiful. I enjoy sitting on the window looking at the pouring rain, clean buildings and the smell of mud.

What would you love to eat on a rainy day: I'm a foodie, so would love to have anything chat pata. (spicy).

And if you had to cook something: I would cook Omlet as it's the safest risk I can take in cooking (laughs).

Karan Mehra:

First thing that comes to your mind when I say rains: Nice weather, a mood to relax and have pakodas made by my mother. Also due to busy schedules I hardly get time to relax these days, so pakodas cooked by my mom is the best thing to have on a rainy day.

Favorite Rain song: 'Kaali Megha' from the movie Laagan.

Do you like rains in Mumbai: I'm liking it this time because even after getting such heavy rains, the drainage system seems to have held off.

Do you believe in the notion 'Rains are romantic' and why: Yes of course and not because we see Bollywood hero-heroines dancing in the rains, but because the very weather makes you feel nice.

What would you love to eat on a rainy day: Pakodas

And if you had to cook something: Pudia it's a special Punjabi dish.

Dimple Jhangiani:

First thing that comes to your mind when I say rains: Holiday

Favorite Rain song: On the roof in the rain from the movie Masti.

Do you like rains in Mumbai: Yeah definitely but to a limit.

Do you believe in the notion 'Rains are romantic' and why: Yes 100% because you feel romantic when you go out and get wet.

What would you love to eat on a rainy day: Corn and nice hot coffee.

And if you had to cook something: Pakodas or anything hot (smiles).

Ashita Dhawan:

First thing that comes to your mind when I say rains: Beauty

Favorite Rain song: Tip Tip Barsa Paani

Do you like rains in Mumbai: I love it however heavily they pour.

Do you believe in the notion 'Rains are romantic' and why: Yes but I feel Rains in Lonavala are more romantic.

What would you love to eat on a rainy day: Onion Pakoda and hot tea.

And if you had to cook something: Anything my husband wishes to have.

Sargun Mehta:

First thing that comes to your mind when I say rains: Paper Boats.

Favorite Rain song: Tip Tip Tip Baarish Shuru Ho gaye…

Do you like rains in Mumbai: I have never been in Mumbai during rains.

Do you believe in the notion 'Rains are romantic' and why: They are totally romantic and more because of the cliche Bollywood rain scenes.

What would you love to eat on a rainy day: Cheese Maggi and hot coffee.

And if you had to cook something: The same Cheese Maggi (smiles).
