I live at Lokhandwala, Andheri and these are the ten most appealing things about my neighbourhood:
1. Andheri is centrally located and it’s a convenience for me as an actor as most of the production houses operate from this area. So, commuting time is less.
2. Andheri has some of the best restaurants in the city, including my favourite, Diet n Taste that serves delicious yet healthy food.
3. I am a big movie buff and we have two great multiplexes close by. So, catching a late-night movie is always easy.
4. I like that we have a lot of coffee shops in the area; these are great places to catch up with friends or even to have meetings.
5. There are plenty of shopping malls in the area, making it easy to go pick up something at the last minute.
6. My neighbourhood is safe. It has a lot of families so the area is friendly for my parents and rest of my family to live in.
7. Andheri is one of the few areas in Mumbai that is buzzing even during the wee hours of the morning. If you are hungry even at 12 a.m. there is probably a restaurant or stall around that is open for a good meal.
8. Lokhandwala, the heart of Andheri, provides us residents with a lot of options for shopping, eating, hanging out, etc.
9. There are plenty of good gyms in the area, which make it easy to work out. We also have the back road so if you are in the mood for a jog in the morning or evening, you can enjoy a bit of outdoor exercise as well.
10. For me, Andheri is convenient for shoots as well, which mostly take place in Filmcity. Hence, I am 20 minutes away from work, making commuting easier in this high-traffic city.
