Stars' bungalows are becoming history...
There was no sense of
surprise or shock as the same kind of news kept coming in every now and
then. Such is the news. Dev Anand's 1950s bungalow at Irish Park in
Juhu is being demolished and a 22-storey tower is being erected in its
place. Dev Anand's son Sunil and daughter Devina have got a hefty price of
four hundred crores. Dev Anand also had a lot of space in Panvel and was
reported to have already been dealt. (Bungalows of stars)
Dev Anand during his
run (his overall lifestyle, his very old movies, his work style, his romance,
his enthusiasm and the songs he released on screen continues to be his move.
Anything is possible about this god.) had an office in Khira Nagar, Santacruz,
Mumbai and It is fixed that he will be there from nine to ten in the morning
every day. Anand Recording Studio was located on Pali Hill in
Bandra. In the eighties, in this very stylish office of Dev Anand, there
was a pleasant combination of his detailed page-long interviews for Navashakti
twice. Today, magnificent buildings stand in its place. Anand
brothers' Ketanav dubbing theater in Khar has also been
demolished. (Bungalows of stars)
It is highlighted that
Dev Anand's investment was huge and given his successful career, he invested
his earnings very well. This quality of Dev Anand is specially
appreciated. (Slightly overlooked though.) Currently, the bungalows of
individual stars of the older generation are going 'behind the curtain of
time'. His food marks are being erased. In the entire history of the
film industry, 'Stars' Bungalow Story' also has a very important
place. When passing through Carter Road near Bandra's sea shore, Rajesh
Khanna's Ashirwad bungalow is visible, there is a tall building, and once many
crazy Rajesh Khanna's Impala cars sometimes come out of this bungalow and his
fans want to catch a glimpse of Rajesh Khanna inside the glass of the
car. Sometimes I was also among those fans. This hukmi funda from
Rajesh Khanna's craze. (Bungalows of stars)
Raj Kapoor's Kapoor
Cottage in Chembur has been replaced by a new glittering structure
today. This is R. K. The cottage became part of Raj Kapoor's
personality. We all live with our Vastu. The only difference is that
there is a lot of talk about the architecture of Raj Kapoor. Mala Sinha's
sale of a bungalow on Turner Road in Bandra was also noteworthy. A long
ago gossips must be told, when Income Tax Department raided this same bungalow,
they found numerous currency notes in Mala Sinha's bathroom wall. It is
natural to feel that 'we should have a bungalow' during our move. It was a
status symbol. Each region has its own way of life. Film stars have
to maintain a high lifestyle. It is needed only when in
form. Rajendra Kumar while building the Dimple Bungalow on Pali Hill also
built the Preview Theater at its rear. For us film critics many film shows
were organized there. Seats were eighty. I had to take off my shoes
and go inside. When Madhuri Dixit, who came with her parents in a dark
pink saree with her parents, left without waiting for a long time, I still
remember that when the screening party for Amha media for 'Fool' directed by
Rajendra Kumar was held in this bungalow, there were some memories. It was
on Pali Hill that Sunil Dutt built a mini theater in the attic and an Ajantha
bungalow on it. It also had an editing room. Watching a movie in this
mini theater was a different experience. Today both these bungalows have
been demolished and handsome buildings have come in their place. Such
grand towers must have many advantages over maintaining a
bungalow. (Bungalows of stars) When Madhuri Dixit, who came with her

Rajkumar's bungalow on
the Worli sea face is so steeped in history that there is confusion as to
exactly where it was located. Shall we say it is just like Rajkumar's
whimsical image? It was from here that Rajkumar used to go to Kulabyala
club in an open jeep, either for shooting in a very busy and noisy
environment. The old generation movie buffs always say with admiration
that 'A star should be a star'.
Artists of the older generation built their own bungalow as the pinnacle of
their success. Sujithkumar's bungalow became history. Rakesh Roshan
and Hrithik Roshan's bungalow stood. Amitabh Bachchan has three bungalows
in Juhu area namely Pratiksha, Janak, Jalsa, so much is his professional
stature and if he has been in Mumbai for almost forty years, Big B shows his
fans on Sundays. Sometimes they come out and accept the goodwill of the
fans and meet them.
Amitabh is enjoying it
all. Posting photos of this moment on social media. It is like a
picnic spot for many fans from across the country. Shahrukh Khan's
birthday bash at Mannat Bungalow at Band Stand in Bandra is
unprecedented. Well, anytime you go to this area, Shah Rukh Khan's fans
are taking photos or selfies outside this bungalow. The bungalows of
Dharmendra, Danny Denzopa, Ranjith, Sanjay Khan, Anil Kapoor, Hema Malini,
Gulzar, etc. are still standing today. But the bungalows of musician
Laxmikant (a colleague of Pyarelal) etc. were replaced by new
buildings. B. R. Chopra, Chetan Anand, Naushad, Johnnie Walker,
Basu Bhattacharya, Yash Chopra, producer Sudhakar Bokade etc. also had
bungalows. The name of Laxmikant's bungalow was 'Parasamani Hote'. It
is his first film. So this name is the identity of his
personality. (Bungalows of stars)
A long interview with
Laxmikant at this bungalow was a good summation. Bappi Lahiri gave a party
to us media every year at his Lahiri House bungalow. Many Hindi filmmakers
incorporate this into their own happy lives. Manoj Kumar demolished the
bungalow and built a big building. Jeetendra owns a bungalow named Krishna
in Juhu Vileparle Scheme area. A great hospitality experience was the
grand party where he played the songs of Tusshar Kapoor's debut film 'Mujhe
Kuch Kehna Hai' to us cinephiles in the spacious terraced hall on the top
floor. Eventually, he also built a bungalow named Krishna Van nearby. It
is no surprise that Anil Kapoor has a spacious bungalow. He has maintained
his fitness, career and lifestyle well. Amol Palekar directed Rajnigandha,
Chhoti Si Baat, Chitchor, Bato Bato Me, in the late seventies. After the
success of films like Apne Paraye etc., as demand and remuneration increased in
Hindi, when Chirebandi Bungalow was built on Juhu's 10th road, Marathi
newspapers reported that Amol Palekar moved in next door to Amitabh
Bachchan. It was said that since the bungalows of both were nearby. There
was also news that 'Cherebandi' was sold. (Bungalows of stars)

Bungalows were the
identity of an artist generation. It had prestige. Although it is
permanent, some of the bungalows are also history. While presenting the
history of the film industry, going into flashbacks, 'The Story of Stars'
Bungalow is informative and interesting'. On the one hand, celebrity
couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have opened a very stylish and therefore
expensive glitzy hotel in Kishore Kumar's bungalow in Juhu's Gauri
Kunj. Am I kidding, it is not that easy to go to this hotel and order
because you are hungry. There is a rumor that after booking online a few
days in advance, admission is given here. Is this according to
Kishorekumar's lifestyle? Things like stars' bungalows and nothing like that. Some
of the bungalows have become history, but some bungalows are still
noteworthy. Shall we pay more attention to what these are?
