A secret you discovered about Mumbai?
The best-kept secret is that this is the best city to be in at the moment and not many around the world are really aware of this.

An Indian product or service you can’t do without?
One service that I feel Indians really excel in is their hospitality. The way they greet and treat you is so touching.

Any fashion tips?
None really, most of the people I have met or come across are always very immaculately dressed.

Dared to try street food?
Yes, and I relished it thoroughly. I have enjoyed the pani puri off the streets. I am even planning to export it to Japan.

A phrase you’re bound to hear?
Chalega—I don’t know anyone in the city who can do without this word.

Your road experiences?
Getting stuck in traffic is the most common road experience for me and everyone else in the city.

What is sexy about Mumbai?
Mumbai women are sexy.

Have you been conned yet?
Not yet.

Truly, madly, deeply, Mumbai...
The best entertainment centre in the world.

What are the similarities or differences between Mumbai and your hometown?
There are many similarities but if I were to name one it would be the religious values. It’s great to see people have strong beliefs and yet respecting other religions too in Mumbai. The most prominent difference that I have felt is the unkemptness of the city. The city can become really beautiful if kept clean and well maintained.

Mumbai, the cultural capital?
I truly believe that Mumbai is the cultural capital as this is the city where trends are set and then the rest of the country just follows them.
