In and around Yari road in Andheri, the buzz of youngsters involved in the entertainment industry is a constant—at those housing complexes that still lease to single men and women, at coffee shops, at recording studios, at ‘happening’ pubs and production houses. Nothing has changed for years, except for the welcome addition of Metro. Many hopeful boys and girls come, some make their careers and stay, or move up the ladder to shift to Juhu or Bandra, some don’t and return to their hometowns. Among the many who did make a successful career, was Charu Khandal. She is also one among those who had to return: in the most tragic turn of events, because of a near-fatal accident in 2012.
