Four people were killed in Gujarat as Cyclone Tauktae pounded the state, leaving a path of destruction along the western coast. Meanwhile, Mumbai was pummelling by heavy rains on Monday as a result of the cyclone.

Deepika, dressed in a printed outfit, posed for photos next to an uprooted tree and wrote in the caption of her Instagram post,  “You can’t calm the storm, so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself, embrace the nature and it’s gloomy moods because the storm will pass.”
