Bandra is a suburb of West Mumbai in the state of India, Maharashtra. Bandra is a posh locality and often called the 'Queen of the suburbs'.
The name 'Bandra' is possibly an adaptation of the Persian word 'Bandar', which Duncan Forbes' A Dictionary, Hindustani and English (1848) defines as 'a city; an emporium; a port, harbour; a trading town to which numbers of foreign merchants resort'. In Marathi, Bandra is known as Vandre, which also means 'port' and is possibly derived from the same Urdu/Persian word. Bandra is a posh locality and often called the Queen of the suburbs. It is home to many Bollywood and cricketing and influential political personalities such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Sachin Tendulkar. #LoveBandra
