Rajinikanth’s residential area isn’t the only one to witness heavy downpour due to Chennai’s rainfall. Reportedly, several other celebrity homes have also been dealing with a similar situation. It must be noted that this isn’t the first time Rajinikanth’s Poes Garden residence has been affected due to rains. Earlier, in 2023, due to Cyclone Michaung, his home faced a similar situation.
Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced that heavy rainfall will continue in Tamil Nadu the next few days. IMD stated, “Isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected over Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal between October 12 to 16, with the most intense downpours likely on October 14 or 15. An orange alert has been issued from October 14 to 16.”
