I have just moved from Andheri to Kandivali and I’m still exploring this side of the neighbourhood but here are the top ten things that I love about this area:
1. Kandivali is away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough for me to travel daily to my sets.
2. Since I am a big movie buff, there are some great cinemas in the vicinity, which makes me a very happy movie-goer.
3. I love the neighbourhood for its family-like crowd and that warm community feeling.
4. We have some very interesting restaurants in this area and I love trying out new food here.
5. There are some great malls in Kandivali and more are coming up, which are turning the neighbourhood into a shoppers’ paradise.
6. There are good salons around for everything I need.
7. Good grocery stores and supermarkets are close by, which make running a household convenient.
8. The highway is also close by so reaching the airport and travelling to South Mumbai is really easy.
9. Since my work involves a lot of meetings, look tests, etc., and most of the production houses are located between Andheri and Malad, commuting takes less time for me.
10. Thakur Village is a bustling area, which provides a lot of buzzing activities, including restaurants, malls, etc.
However, I do miss Andheri as I have lived there for many years. It was more central and hence convenient for travel as well. It also had a lot of restaurants and coffee shops in the vicinity where I could catch up with my friends.
