Kajal Aggarwal Reveals What Captivated Her Most About Melbourne

Mumbai — Actress Kajal Aggarwal recently visited Melbourne with her husband, Gautam Kitchlu, for a leisure getaway, sharing glimpses of her memorable trip with fans on Instagram.

Posting a video compilation from her travels, the Singham star also penned a heartfelt note describing her fascination with the vibrant Australian city.

“Melbourne. A city that feels like a living canvas. Every corner bursts with creativity, from the graffiti-clad laneways to the quietly elegant cafés tucked between historic façades,” she wrote.

Kajal revealed that what impressed her most was how the city beautifully blends its history with modernity.

“What fascinated me most was how seamlessly the city marries its past with its present—where Victorian-era architecture stands shoulder to shoulder with bold, contemporary design (it’s colloquially called Facadism). The balance between preservation and progress is so thoughtfully done; it’s a masterclass in historic redevelopment,” she shared.

She also praised Melbourne’s rich coffee culture, calling it “something else.” “Each café feels like a story brewed to perfection. Saint Dreux became a quick favourite—their Japanese sandos and artisanal coffee are an experience in minimalism and flavour,” Kajal noted.

The actress went on to describe Melbourne’s fine dining scene as “an art form in itself.” “Yarra Yering’s Yiaga, led by the talented Chef Hugh Allen and designed by architect John Wardle, is a sensory journey—where food, space, and storytelling converge effortlessly. Gimlet, with its timeless European charm and impeccable craftsmanship, celebrates classic elegance with a modern twist. And Attica—a revelation. Chef Ben Shewry’s creativity and deep connection to Australian ingredients create dishes that are both emotional and unforgettable,” she added.

Summing up her experience, the Hey Sinamika actress reflected on Melbourne’s unique character. “The city is defined by an unmistakable paradox—vintage yet modern, grounded yet imaginative, artistic yet effortless. Melbourne is not just a destination; it’s an experience that lingers with you long after you’ve left,” Kajal concluded.
