This pic was taken when I came here with a dream of living in Mumbai andnow After spending almost 8 years in this city this is what I get to hear..Firstly, Yes I’m an Actor and I do not Smoke or drink and I have nocriminal records. So, How can they judge my character on the basis of myprofession?

Second, I’m a bachelor and when I call brokers they ask me higher rents forthe flats which are available saying Pay extra or u won’t get it since ur aBachelor. My question is nuisance can be created by families too. Third, Icalled up another person and they ask me wether I am a Hindu or a Muslimand reverted back with an answer that Muslims are not preferred. They alsomentioned that take the flat on ur friend’s name who’s not a Muslim. I meanwhat’s in a name? There’s no difference in the blood.

Renting or buying a property in the city that never sleeps. Mumbai whichprides itself on its cosmopolitan character is divided on basis ofreligion, profession and marital status?? I’m shocked to see that Mumbaiwhich has given me so much that I don’t stop praising about Mumbai bycalling it Aamchi Mumbai still doesn’t have a place for me and so many ofus coming from out of town still struggling with identity crisis.

With a heavy heart and after many refusals my question is – Do I belong tothis city?”
