From ‘Jalsa’ to ‘Prateeksha’ to ‘Janak’; superstar Amitabh Bachchan owns 5 lavish bungalows in Mumbai.
Recently, Big B reportedly splurged about Rs 31 crore on a duplex apartment in Oshiwara.
Now, the latest buzz is that Big B has apparently received a notice from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation(BMC) of demolishing a part of his bungalow ‘Pateeksha’.
Reportedly, in 2017, Amitabh Bachchan and seven others, including filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, were served notice by BMC for “illegal construction”.
Now, as ANI reported, a portion of Big B’s Prateeksha bungalow plot will be acquired for the widening of the Sant Dnyaneshwar Marg Road. The civic body has also instructed Mumbai Suburban Collector city survey officials to distinguish the exact portion of the bungalow required for the project.
According to a media report, talking about the issue, Municipal councillor Tulip Miranda said, “The BMC had given notice to actor Amitabh Bachchan in 2017 about this situation under the road winding policy. The wall of the plot adjoining Bachchan’s bungalow was taken and drainage has been created. But Bachchan’s house has been left untouched.”
“When the notice was issued, why was the land not taken? It belonged to a common person they would have taken it immediately under Section 299 of the Municipal Act notice that says you don’t have to wait for a second notice of appeal,” she further commented.
