His grandparents are also slated to join him for the event.&rdquo; Though a neonatologist by profession, Anita now heads a research collective that aims to create debates about urbanisation as well as empower the youth. Formerly based in Chicago, she now spends equal time in India as well as the US.u00a0Adds the source, &ldquo;When Prateik is on a holiday he shuts himself from things happening on the Mumbai front. He feels this is the best way to enjoy the vacation rather than keep abreast of what&rsquo;s happening back home.&rdquo; He is slated to be back in Mumbai by mid-October.
