Stand-up comedian Abijit Ganguly has left Mumbai after nine years to relocate to Bengaluru. In a post on Instagram, the father of a baby expressed his frustration with constant construction and renovations that made living in the city feel like "hard mode". Ganguly wanted more greenery, spacious schools and a quieter environment for his family.
His decision to move comes alongside other celebrities choosing homes outside Mumbai due to difficult commutes, personal well-being, quieter surroundings and business needs. Some have returned to the city later, like Tanmay Bhat, while others, like Goa-based personalities, seek a slower pace.
