Why Shruti's a Bandra girl

Though she was born and brought up in Chennai, and moved to Mumbai at 16, Shruti Haasan prefers to call herself a "Bandra girl." Over the weekend, the actor fondly recollected the memories attached to the queen of suburbs, which she now calls home. She studied at St Andrew's College, played her first bunch of rock ‘n' roll gigs there, and through one of the most "turbulent times" in her life, the backstreets of Bandra were her haven. "This place has my heart always," posted the actor, who loves the quaint bungalows, which still stand in the bylanes.

Telling desi stories

Ayushmann Khurrana, who is shooting for the campus comedy, Doctor G, in Allahabad, is "honoured" to get opportunities to tell diverse stories of the country through his films.

The actor adds that this is the reason why his films like Bala (2019) and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020) have resonated with people, besides passing on the socially relevant message.
