Taapsee on Sunday posted pictures of her electricity bill for the month of June, which was due for Rs 36,000. Along with that, she also shared the bill for the month of May, which was Rs 3,850. The ‘insane rise’ comes out to close a nine-fold increase, or in other words, 835 per cent.
Here’s the tweet

In another tweet, she shared her bills of the months of April, March which were Rs 4390 and Rs 570 respectively. She shared other bills of April and May, in which the due amount was Rs 730 and Rs 8640 respectively, a flat in which no one lives.
And this one is for an apartment where no one stays n it’s only visited once in a week for cleaning purpose @Adani_Elec_Mum I am now worried if someone is actually using the apartment without our knowledge and you have helped us uncover the reality 🤷🏻♀️ pic.twitter.com/GeBQUSJaft

Before Taapseee, Vir Das also asked if more people received a bill that charged them three times their usual amount. Amyra Dastur and Shruti Seth were among those who agreed.
Anyone else in Mumbai get an electricity bill that is triple what they usually pay?
— Vir Das (@thevirdas)
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?

Earlier, Jwala Gutta, Richa Chadha and Kavita Kasuhik and many other stars had also raised concerns on high electricity charges on Twitter.
