In Tuesday, doubles legend Mahesh Bhupathi found himself complaining to wife Lara Dutta for using towels from major tournaments to stop rain water from entering their house.
Dutta tweeted a photo where Bhupathi’s Wimbledon, US Open, Australian Open and French Open towels were kept on the floor to check the flow of water.
She wrote, Putting our Wimbledon,US Open, Aus Open &French Open towels to good use!@Maheshbhupathi #MumbaiRain.Stay safe & indoors if possible folks!”

But the 12-time Grand Slam champion was certainly not amused, and quickly replied, "Are u kidding me !!!! That's years of hard work".

Twiterratis were, however, quick to join the husband-wife banter. Here are some notable comments:

I thought this use of towel was restricted only to middle class people 😂
