The electricity bills this month has caught everyone’s attention. They are running the pockets dry as the amount has surged 3 fold. Yesterday, ‘Thappad’ actress Taapsee Pannu took to her Twitter handle to share that she is being charged a whopping Rs 36,000 this month (June) by the electricity provider. Now, other actors as well have bashed the electricity provider for the skyrocketing amount.

Huma Qureshi took to her Twitter handle and wrote how her bill rose from 6K a month to 50k. She wrote, “What are these new electricity rates ?? @Adani_Elec_Mum Last month I paid 6k .. and this month 50 k ????!!! What is this new price surge ?? Kindly enlighten us”

Pulkit Samrat also retweeted a tweet that read, “So @Adani_Elec_Mum All of us have been worried about the crazy bills you’ve been sending us. Sending us template responses while asking us to pay these highly inflated bills is manipulative . Stop misusing the “power” .”

Actress Saumya Tandon also bashed the electricity provider. She shared Taapsee’s tweet and wrote, “My bill was 28000/- up from average of 8000/- @Adani_Elec_Mum . It seems they have added a lockdown surcharge.”

Vir Das also asked his followers on his Twitter handle, “Anyone else in Mumbai get an electricity bill that is triple what they usually pay?”, to which Amyra Dastur replied saying, “Omg yes! And I freaking shifted to my mom and dads house in April! They’ve been charging MY flat which I haven’t lived in for 3 months, double of what I would pay actually living there! Mine is BEST. Do you know how to stop this nonsense?”
