Despite moving from Delhi to Mumbai at a young age, Aasif Sheikh still has a strong affinity for his hometown. The actor, who recently travelled to the Capital to attend the popular Lav Kush Ramlila — for the fourth consecutive year — tells us how meaningful it is to celebrate the festive season in the city.
“Coming to Delhi is always good. Mujhe thoda sa lalach rehta hai wapas aane ka, because my roots are here,” he says, adding, “Delhi is definitely a city of festivities and Delhiites know how to truly celebrate every festival. When I came to Mumbai, I started missing certain things about Delhi such as the food, the culture and Dilli ke log.”
