At a grand star-studded event, MiD DAY dedicated an anthem to our beloved city. After years of being synonymous with this metro, MiD DAY launched

My City…My Life! – a special anthem celebrating Mumbai’s spirit and aspirations – with the who’s who of the glamour and business world.

Actress Sonam Kapoor talked at length about her experience of growing up in Mumbai, while Deepika Padukone launched the anthem with a lot of fanfare.

MiD DAY’s managing director and CEO Manajit Ghoshal played host with great aplomb, talking to celebrities from various walks of life about their experiences of living in Mumbai. Needless to say, the night was abuzz with excitement that the city now had an anthem of its own.

Here’s what Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone had to say:

Sonam Kapoor

I like the anthem that has been created for Mumbai. To me, Mumbai means eating at Elco market, Amar Juice Centre, driving along Marine Drive, and eating at some more amazing places! But to tell you the truth, I still love calling it Bombay and CST, the Victoria Terminus

Deepika Padukone

I come from Bangalore, but now Mumbai is also like a home to me. This city has offered me many opportunities to grow and I have always found it to be a comfortable place to work in. Women are safer and more secure in Mumbai than any other city in India. I love this city and its vibe!
