Bachchan Bungalow Dispute Rocks Mumbai
15 Nov
Summary
- Jalsa, owned by Jaya Bachchan, is embroiled in a property dispute.
- Ramola Bachchan disputes the 1993 gift deed for Jalsa.
- Prateeksha, named by Harivansh Rai Bachchan, is Shweta's home.
The iconic Mumbai bungalow Jalsa, owned by Jaya Bachchan and worth an estimated Rs 100 crore, is currently at the center of a property dispute being heard by the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies in Andheri. Conflicting ownership records have emerged, with the Kapol Housing Society listing Jaya Bachchan as the owner, while the Maharashtra government's Property Card identifies Ramola Bachchan, Amitabh's sister-in-law, as the proprietor.
The controversy reignited due to an effort to update Jalsa's ownership records to Jaya Bachchan's name. Ramola Bachchan is contesting the 1993 gift deed transferring the property to Jaya, claiming the transaction occurred without her knowledge or consent and questioning its legal validity. This legal challenge is currently ongoing.
Meanwhile, the Bachchan family's other significant property, Prateeksha, valued at Rs 50 crore, serves as the residence for Shweta Bachchan and her children. This property holds a deeper historical connection, having been purchased in 1976 and named by Amitabh's father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
