Shruti
Haasan,
who
was
born
and
brought
up
in
Chennai,
has
shifted
base
to
Mumbai
at
her
new
residence
in
Bandra
and
says
that
Mumbai
is
now
her
new
home.
The
actress
first
stepped
foot
in
the
city
when
was
16
years
old
and
attended
college
there.
Speaking
exclusively
to
DNA
Shruti
Haasan
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
first
came
to
Mumbai
when
I
was
very
young.
My
mom
is
from
here
and
dad
always
had
some
work
around
here,
so
Mumbai
always
felt
like
a
second
home.
I
moved
here
when
I
was
16
and
went
to
junior
college
here
as
well.
After
travelling
all
over
the
place
I've
been
back
here
for
three
to
four
years
now
and
have
my
own
home
here."
Shruti
Haasan,
also
walks
down
the
memory
lane
from
her
college
days
spent
in
Mumbai
and
says,
"My
memories
of
the
monsoons
are
of
hanging
out
with
friends
during
college
and
walking
around.
I
have
quite
a
few
haunts
I
love
visiting
when
I
am
here."
When
asked
about
her
first
impressions
of
Mumbai,
Shruti
quipped
as,
"My
first
impression
of
Mumbai
has
changed
with
time...
At
first,
I
found
the
city
very
chaotic
and
messy,
but
over
time,
I've
begun
to
love
the
energy
of
the
city.
I
used
to
live
in
Bandra
earlier
and
I
loved
the
vibe
there
as
it's
very
calm
and
vibrant.
And
though
I
love
Chennai
because
it's
where
I
was
born,
Mumbai
is
now
my
home.
The
food
is
different
-
there
is
a
lot
more
place
and
space
in
Chennai,
but
it's
way
hotter
than
Mumbai."
