I miss Omelette on the beach
Says actor-director rohit roy

During our days as struggling actors, Himanshu Malik and I used to head to Juhu beach in the evening, and eat Mysore Omelette on a bench by the sea. It was the yummiest omelette in the world, and is the one thing I love most about the time I was a nobody.

I miss AC bus ride
Says television actor tassnim shaikh

I miss Shopping at Fashion Street
Says singer and talent show judge Abhijeet Bhattacharya
