Is Mahesh Manjrekar Ready to Leave Mumbai? Here’s His Shocking Statement
Actor-director Mahesh Manjrekar recently made headlines with a bold statement during a joint interview with MNS chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, where he expressed his readiness to leave Mumbai immediately if given a choice. The reason behind his startling declaration lies in his growing concerns over the city’s condition.
Manjrekar said, “I am ashamed that my children are growing up in this city.” He pointed to Mumbai’s deteriorating environment, particularly the soaring population and pollution levels. “If someone gave me another option, I would leave Mumbai right away and live somewhere else,” he added.Explaining further, Manjrekar shared, “As a Mumbaikar, when I step out of my house today, I feel ashamed.
The Air Quality Index is at 183, which causes me trouble just going outside. Mumbai’s population has reached 2.31 crore—when will the city get relief from this congestion? It’s like a balloon filled five times beyond its capacity.”Responding to Manjrekar’s concerns, Uddhav Thackeray said, “You’ve lived here for years, as have Raj and I.
While pollution is bad today, has it ever been this severe before? The problem is unplanned development promoted under the guise of ‘progress’ by certain political forces. This destruction, not development, is what causes the city’s issues.”Manjrekar concluded emphatically, “There is no real development now, and Mumbai lacks the facilities to support it.
The city has the highest carbon dioxide levels in the world—we breathe more carbon than oxygen. People already here should stay, but at least new arrivals should be limited.”His candid remarks have sparked a conversation about Mumbai’s environmental and infrastructural challenges, highlighting urgent concerns about the city’s future livability.
