Social media personality and actor Kusha Kapila has opened up on her experience of moving to Mumbai from Delhi, and shared how she is a "different" person when she is in the "city of dreams".
YouTuber Kusha, who hails from Delhi is known for her work as a host of Comicstaan. She also featured in projects like Case Toh Banta Hai, Sukhee and Selfiee, among others.
The 34-year-old recently featured in the coming-of-age drama series Dehati Ladke.
Talking about her experience of moving to Mumbai from Delhi, Kusha said, "Moving to Mumbai has been fantastic. I'm not a stranger to the city, considering I've been working here for the last three to four years. But it's very fast-paced as compared to Delhi. People are workaholics here. I think I'm a different person when I'm in Mumbai."
Kusha said she is very charged and always on her toes, when in Mumbai.
"However, whenever I go back to Delhi, I like to take things a little slow. I like to strike that balance between both cities. I now have a little bit of Delhi and a little bit of Mumbai in me and my entire personality. My experience in Mumbai has been amazing. I love the people here. I love that it's so safe for women," she shared.
Kusha further shared advice for people who move to metro cities from their hometowns.
"I would say go for long walks in the city that you're in, especially if you're coming from a smaller city. Try to find a little bit of your city in the city you're moving to, which also means finding people who've moved from your city or people who've come from different cities," said the actor.
She added: "I feel like they'll be able to relate with you and you'll be able to resonate with their experiences. Go for cultural walks. Try new food. Try street food. Be open to new experiences. Be open to absolutely random spur-of-the-moment, impulsive experiences. And, also normalise the idea of enjoying your own company."
