Reports have been rife that the legendary Dev Anand‘s house where he lived for 40 years is bought and will be converted into a tower. Dev had lived there with his wife Kalpana Kartik and children, Devina Anand and Suniel Anand. It was reported that the deal is almost on the verge of being locked and the property is being sold at a whopping Rs 350-400 crore. It was also reported that the property is being sold since there is nobody here to take care of it. Anand’s son lives in the US, meanwhile his daughter Devina lives in Ooty with her mother Kalpana. It was said that a 22 floor tower will be built here.
However, ETimes reached out to Ketan Anand, son of Dev Anand’s brother Chetan. The senior filmmaker denied this real estate development and said no such deal was being discussed or negotiated. He said, “No, it’s false news. I have checked with Devina and the family.”
ETimes alo tried to reach out to the real estate developer reportedly involved in the deal, but we did not get any reaction at the time of publishing this story.
Dev Anand’s house in Juhu stood as a living testament to his enduring legacy in the world of Indian cinema. It was not just a residence, but a sanctuary where the magic of Bollywood and the spirit of a cinematic legend lived on. In an earlier interview, the late actor had said that he had built this house in 1950 and at that time Juhu was like a village and he liked it because he was a loner.
