Sanjeev Kapoor asked- What will happen if snow falls in Mumbai
The floods in Dubai have disrupted life there. On this situation, Anand Mahindra shared a video on social media platform X on Tuesday and wrote that this is not Mumbai, but Dubai. In this video, people were seen walking in knee-deep water. Also, cars and trucks were seen half submerged in water. On Wednesday, Sanjeev Kapoor tweeted on this video that this comparison is wrong. Dubai was not designed to withstand such heavy rains. Such rain can drown any city. Just imagine what would happen if heavy snow falls in Mumbai. Mumbai is not designed to withstand snowfall. In such a situation, will the people settled in Oslo make fun of Mumbai?
Dubai was not built to withstand such rain
