Actor Shalin Bhanot’s recent Delhi visit was special to him for more reasons than one. For starters- HT City took him to Bangla Sahib gurudwara for the first time!

“Delhi always treats me very well. There’s a different kind of affection I have for this city. I remember coming here in my younger days- to Appu Ghar, also Faridabad. It’s been a very long association. I don’t come very often these days. In the past years, I have only come for events, shows or promotions,” he shares.

He says the Capital has a ‘different vibe’, “Something or the other happens when I come here, and it ends up being a special moment. There are a lot of places in Connaught Place I frequent, there are a lot of options for non vegetarian food. I also make it a point to go to Khu Gali in Chandni Chowk and all such places. Delhi food is just fantastic, especially chhole bhature. I am not a very big fan of momos, but I love paranthas, sabse zyaada from Paranthe wali gali.”
