It's been 15 years since Mumbai faced the wrath of a major cloud burst on July 26, 2005. The city experienced the deadliest floods and memories of the day are still fresh in the minds of Mumbaikars. Recalling the day, a Twitter user shared an incident that was witnessed by him. Nishant Kaushik, on Twitter, revealed that Hrithik Roshan saved a college-going girl's life outside his friend Abhishek Bachchan’s bungalow, Pratiksha, which was just minutes away from his own house.

Narrating the incident, Nishant tweeted, "Dean had asked some of us to walk the girls back from NMIMS to their Juhu hostel. Ten feet short of the hostel, a girl slipped out of our human chain and went underwater.  Hrithik emerged from Prateeksha and rescued her. A lesson that heroes don't need the camera on to perform"
