The Facebook post hinted how Bandra was losing its natural aesthetics to urbanisation. The Ishq Vishk and Delly Belly actress who grew up in Bandra took a dig into how the place had changed from years down the lane. "There were trees everywhere. We woke up to birds chirping. There were barely any cars in Bandra when I was a child and when a car passed everyone ran to the balcony to see who’s passing," she posted.
"What is Bandra today? First they came for our cottages and bungalows and now every second building is getting demolished and redeveloped...Even the roads are being “up graded” Why, the roads were cute and cobblestoned?" she slammed the city officials for stealing what the area's past identity. "BUT! The BMC has to spend the funds sothey work all day and night - blaring horns, truck sounds, digging," she added in her Facebook post.
