ROTI
My favourite rasta food is: The bhel-puri at Four Bungalows, Andheri. It’s very safe.
My favourite restaurant is: Yoko’s because I love sizzlers, Tai Chi (Oshiwara) for their yummy Thai food and Saiba (Mahim) for Malwani food.
My favourite nightspot is: I used to love Fire and Ice, but now that it’s shut down, it’s Enigma. But the truth is I rarely get the time to party.
My most expensive meal was at: The JW Marriott.
The most overpriced restaurant is: The Dhaba at Lokhandwala.
The restaurant with the most value for money food is: Saiba has excellent food – complete value for money.
KAPDA
I shop mostly at: Lots of places, actually. My favourites are W at In Orbit Mall, Fire Walkers, Sanskriti at Fame Adlabs and Pepper Tree in Lokhandwala.
My favourite rasta shopping area is: It was Fashion Street earlier, but now you get better stuff at Santacruz Market, Manish Nagar (Four Bungalows) and Hill Road (Bandra).
My favourite Indian designers are: I’m not much into designer clothing, but I admire the creations of Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Ritu Kumar.
The sale I never miss is: I try and catch all sales if possible!
The most expensive thing I bought is: Since I’m allergic to certain metals, I made a gold watch with ethnic meenakari work. It’s really exquisite and expensive!
The cheapest thing I bought is: Colourful bindis for Rs 10.
The best bargains are available at: Hill Road.
MAKAAN
My favourite area is: Malad, because it’s not too developed and not overcrowded. Also it’s spacious, has great infrastructure and huge malls.
Heritage structures in Mumbai: Are sadly not maintained well. Our government should make more of an effort to preserve them.
The one place that holds fondest memories for me is: Vakola, Santacruz (E), because that is where I was born.
Mumbai’s most aesthetic areas are: Hiranandani Gardens because it’s so well structured and the Raheja building on the back road of Lokhandwala.
Mumbai’s biggest eyesore: The potholes, constant digging, never-ending constructions. Let’s start with decent roads before converting Mumbai into Shanghai!
