"Then came to Bangalore. Then, when my dad got transferred beyond that. We didn't travel with him, okay? We stayed in Bangalore with my mother, and my mother's family was here in Bangalore," Kamath said in the podcast.

He further added, "From the age of 7 till 37, for the last 30 years, I've been pretty much a Bangalore boy have immense love for the city uh which has in a way given me everything and I think it's a two-way love, I showcase it a lot and I think the city continues to love m. Hence I was telling you the other day you should come to Banglore and hang out. It's very different from Mumbai, not in the way that you typically hear from people that Mumbai is fast. Bangalore has a soul which is different from Mumbai's soul, and I feel like you have to be there to experience it."
