Pali Hill's distinguished residents come to its rescue.

The residents of Pali Hill, one of the tonier neighbourhoods of Bandra, a western Mumbai suburb, took to the streets to protest against BMC's recent move to allow hawking zones in the area.

Leading the pack was a miffed Rishi Kapoor -- a hawking zone has been demarcated right outside his bungalow Krishna Raj.

A look at other stars who joined the actor:
