Renowned stand-up comedian Abijit Ganguly and his family have decided to leave Mumbai, citing the city's ongoing construction, deteriorating infrastructure, and the need for more open spaces as the main reasons. The comedian, who relocated to Mumbai from Delhi nine years ago, initially cherished his life in the city. However, he now perceives the constant cycle of construction and redevelopment as making everyday life increasingly challenging.
Abijit Ganguly shared his decision on Instagram, lamenting the perpetual construction projects in the city. He remarked, "Shifted out of Mumbai last week. Gradually realised the city will be in a perpetual state of construction since that's how contractors and then ministers will make money. So there'll always be that next project, next renovation to make your life tough. And if nothing else, they'll break an existing one completed just a few years ago to make something bigger."
His decision to move came as a result of evolving priorities, particularly after becoming a father. While Mumbai initially drew him in, raising a young daughter made him reconsider the environment he desired for his family. He expressed a longing for a peaceful setting with ample greenery, open spaces, and improved surroundings for his daughter's upbringing.
