I was born in Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh, as my parents are both pandits from there. But I was brought up in Chandigarh.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was born in India - but never really lived there.
My grandfather started a school for the underprivileged in Chandigarh, and that is why we moved from Himachal to Chandigarh. It was a small school, where even I would teach while in school.
Though I stay in Delhi, I often think about Himachal.
I was born in Faridabad but brought up in Delhi and Mumbai. My father had been living hand-to-mouth and literally slept on railway platforms when he came to Mumbai for the first time to become a film singer. My parents were both singers; they sang together and fell in love due to their singing.
I was born in Faridabad and I spent a major part of my growing up years in Delhi before shifting to Mumbai. Delhi-NCR is still very special to me.
I spent the first five years of my life in Punjab, India, and then moved to New York.
My grandfather was born in India and three generations of my family served there.
I was born in our Chembur house in Mumbai, where we lived for five years after which we shifted to our Lokhandwala house.
I come from Surajpur, a valley in Himachal Pradesh near Manali that is named after my great grandfather Sarju Singh Ranaut.
I take full pride in the fact that I'm from Chandigarh.
