Today, Khar is home to many Bollywood personalities, industrialists and other celebrities.
Many parts continue to retain their old world charm of a handful of bungalows still visible through shady tree-lined avenues and quiet bylanes.
As far as commuters and long-distance passengers are concerned, Khar is now an important quick access to the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus, which was conceived a few years ago to decongest the Mumbai Central Terminus.
