Roti
My favourite rasta food is: The cyclewallah idli-dosas. I often ask for it on the sets but the production boy insists on getting food from a restaurant.
My favourite restaurants are: Trattoria at the Taj President, Mainland China, Legacy of China, Myst and Bobby Deol's Some Place Else.
My favourite nightspot is: I'm not much of a party person but I like the Provogue Lounge at Phoenix Mills.
The most expensive meal I've had in Mumbai was at: The Thai Pavilion, Taj President. All I ate was a raw mango and water chestnut salad.
The most value for money food is: Bombay Blue, New Yorker and Noodle Bar.
Kapda
I shop mostly at: Anywhere and everywhere, but Options at Juhu is my most frequented store.
My favourite rasta shopping area is: Linking Road. I pick up junk jewellery which I never manage to wear!
My favourite Indian fashion stores are: I love Cotton World for their shirts and pants, Fabindia for kurtas and Anokhee for skirts.
The sale I never miss is: I love sales at shoe shops! It means guilt-free hoarding for the whole year.
My cheapest purchase is: A belt worth Rs 50.
Makaan
My favourite place in Mumbai is: A roof-top flat near Jamnabai School.
Heritage structures in Mumbai should be: Preserved like the Europeans conserve theirs.
The one place that holds fondest memories for me is: The Juhu Club where I spent time swimming, playing table-tennis, reading and exercising as a kid.
The most aesthetic structure in Mumbai is: The CST Terminus, complete with the old clock. It defines Mumbai. Most films have a top shot of it to introduce the city.
Mumbai's biggest eyesore is: The roads left unfinished by the municipality. We have the best malls here, much like the ones abroad, but the minute you step out, reality hits you.
