The restaurant with the most value for money food is: Urban Tadka. It has great food which is very well priced.
KAPDA
I shop mostly at: Mango, Guess and smaller boutiques like Clothes Rack and Cottons, but mostly I’m a Mango girl.

MAKAAN
My favourite area is: Oshiwara, where I stay, because I love the noise, buzz and the fact that all my friends stay close by.
Heritage structures in Mumbai: Are lovely, but could do with some more maintenance. CST, Rajabai Tower and the Gateway of India are particularly beautiful.

The most aesthetic area is: Marine Drive is beautiful and brings back some great college memories.
Mumbai’s biggest eyesore is: The slums and my car that bears the brunt of the pathetic Mumbai roads.
