Bandra: The luxe neighbourhood that Bollywood A-listers call home

New Delhi: If Mumbai is the city of dreams, then Bandra is where those dreams move into sea-facing penthouses. This hip suburb is not just any other locality but the unofficial headquarters of Bollywood. However, a recent incident in Bandra took the film industry by storm. Actor Saif Ali Khan was reportedly stabbed six times by an intruder who entered his house around 2:30 AM on Thursday (January 16).

While the actor is out of danger and his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and kids Taimur and Jeh are safe, the incident has added to the list of previous mishaps that took place in the Bandra area.

Increasing crimes in the Bandra area

Bandra is like the Beverly Hills of Bollywood. But over the past year, the suburb has seen a significant increase in crimes. From open firing outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments to NCP leader Baba Siddiqui’s assassination, several popular celebrities have called out the lack of proper security in the luxe neighbourhood.
