He8217;s been the ramp8217;s favourite for almost six years now and will soon make his debut either in Moksha or Jadh. Movies and marriage to ramp model Mehr Jessia have kept this Delhiite in the news constantly. Arjun Rampal who migrated to Mumbai almost seven years ago, refuses to compare Mumbai to another city. Not even Delhi. 8220;It is unfair to compare any two cities actually. But Mumbai is different. It is a typical melting pot with an amazingly large variety of cultures and religions co-existing here. Like any other city, it has its drawbacks too. quot;But one can never hate Mumbai.8221; He marks it out for its successful standard, the vibrancy of cultures living here and most importantly, the buzz about the place. 8220;It is a fast-paced life. Almost as slow as it is to reach one point in the city from another.
If it takes hour-and-a-half by road to make 20 kilometres, it is just not happening. 8220;Not for a hardworking, successful city of dreams like Mumbai.8221; The roads and traffic, as much as they annoy Arjun,he is one of those strongly environmental-friendly types also. 8220;Let8217;s get to the very basics. We need parks here. Big, beautiful parks and gardens. Pramod Navalkar8217;s nana-nani park is a great idea. There8217;s Jogger8217;s park, but it is so tiny. We are so cramped up in this city. And we desperately need greenery around the place.8221; He8217;s got a slightly different opinion of the flyovers though.
