Recently, a report by the MoneyControl stated that a bungalow, right adjacent to Amitabh Bachchan’s residence, Jalsa has been put up for sale. The Deutsche Bank has decided to put this grand property under an auction with a reserve price of Rs. 25 crore, and an EMD of Rs. 2.50 crore. It should be noted that since the banks usually list out prices for auction a little lesser than the market value, similarly, the original price of this bungalow next to that of Amitabh Bachchan’s can be estimated to be priced at Rs, 35-40 crores in the market. The property has a carpet area of 1164 square feet, with an additional 2175 square feet of open space.
In one of his previous blogs, Amitabh Bachchan had opened up about that one sacrosanct place in his residence, Jalsa, that is his favourite spot. Without being quite direct in his expression, Big B narrated how his recording room, which he called as Saptaswar was the place where he could feel the power of music being divine. He also dropped a picture of the spot, where he could be seen surrounded a microphone and a mixer controller, along with different other gadgets of recording. He addressed:
“A whiff of a melody .. accidentally, conveyed to me during those wonderful moments at Saptaswar and it lingers on through the night and day and changes the very thoughts of what one is professed to do .. the power of music is divine .. it takes over all your thoughts and words and deeds .. and leaves you exhausted .. tired not in the sense of a physicality .. but exhausted with the idea of envy for them that possess that special quality of making music .."
