Dino's home damaged by deluge
By Subhash K. Jha, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, July 26 (IANS) The incessant rains in Mumbai have
claimed yet another celebrity casualty.
Dino Morea woke up Monday morning at his Carter Road residence
in Bandra to the sound of a nerve-wracking crash outside his
bedroom window.
"At first I thought it was an explosion. God forbid, that's the
last thing we need. I quickly jumped out of the bed - I was
alone for a change - and peeped out to see the huge
tamarind tree in my compound had crashed down on my wall," Dino
told IANS.
So was the damage sizeable?
"Yes, an entire wall and the fence have been completely broken.
Fortunately, the tree missed the house by inches."
However, not so fortunately, Dino had to leave for Spain after a
few hours to address a gathering of NRIs Wednesday.
"Naturally, I didn't leave in the best of moods. My brother
Nicolo who stays with me (my other brother Santino is pursuing a
career in showbiz in Los Angeles) will take care
of the damage. But I don't like my home to get even a scratch,
especially not when I am leaving the city, please!.
"Some people are like that about
their cars or girlfriends. I'm super-protective about my home. I
built it brick by brick."
Dino's three-day stay in Spain has been dampened by the
incident.
"I'm not going to miss out on the fun. If it rains dames in
Spain I've got my umbrellas ready. But I'd have enjoyed myself
far more if this didn't happen. It may or may not rain
in Spain. But why does it have to rain so much in Mumbai? How
much more pounding will our city have to take?".
