Saif Ali Khan's "This is not Mumbai, it is Andheri" triggers a hilarious debate

Saif Ali Khan has done it again! After 'no concept of India until the British came' went viral, the 'Jawaani Jaaneman' actor was seen saying, "This is not even Mumbai, it is Andheri", in a viral video. The actor who was shooting for a show was out with the host Siddhaarth Aalambayan on 'Bombay Journey', and correcting him, Saif said, "Technically you're calling it Bombay, it's now Mumbai, and this is not even Mumbai, this is Andheri."

While some called him an 'elitist' for making that statement and questioned his geographical knowledge, a few defended the actor and gave the reasoning behind 'Mumbai city and Mumbai suburban' being different districts of Maharashtra.
