In fact, says Thakur, the climax of Saat Phere will break another Indian taboo. "Saloni eventually decides she's not going to get married...
...team behind the almost-as-iconic Caf? Deco restaurant atop Victoria Peak, the new venue provides the best excuse in years for a trip to the Jumbo's anchorage in Aberdeen Harbour. Amid a breezy alfresco setting (choose from tables, sofas and even day beds), visitors can dine on cosmopolitan bistro fare?think steaks, sushi, tandoori dishes and Thai curries?while gazing on the luxury yachts and fishing boats bobbing in the water below. And while a good deal of the original fittings have been left intact, in Top Deck's flattering candlelight they appear chic instead of garish...
