Reminiscing about the good times, Manisha wrote: “Walking on the beach with my closest buddy… I remember watching her films growing up, and when we finally got to work together in Saudagar — where she played my sort-of mother-in-law — I was overjoyed. Our bond has remained just as warm and effortless over the years.”
“It’s the scent of the sea breeze at twilight, the golden glow of sunsets on Juhu Beach, the echo of dreams in every street corner. It’s where magic happens — where creative minds come alive, where friendships are forged and nurtured, and where the heart somehow always feels at home.”
“And oh — the street food! From spicy bhel puri to piping hot vada pavs — nowhere in the world does it taste better. Every bite carries a memory, every flavor a story,” she said.
“Every walk on the sand here reminds me of where I began my film journey, the people I’ve met, and the unforgettable journey this city has given me. @deepti.naval #mumbai #beachwalk #mumbaifoodlovers #friendforlife.”
