Controversy has started over Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s famous bungalow ‘Jalsa’ in Mumbai. A few days ago, after receiving bomb threats, Ramola, wife of Big B’s brother Ajitabh, has now raised questions on the transfer of the bungalow in the name of Jaya Bachchan. Ramola has complained about this several times in the registrar office in the last 7 months. He says that without his knowledge the ownership of the bungalow was transferred to Jaya Bachchan’s name.
According to the reports of Times of India and Mumbai Mirror, Ramola Bachchan claims that Jalsa was earlier registered in her name. Later, through a gift deed of 1993, its ownership was transferred to the name of Jaya Bachchan. Ramola has raised questions on the legality of this transfer and said that he was not aware of it nor had he given his consent for it.
Different names in property records
According to the report, in the records of Kapol Housing Society, Jaya Bachchan is mentioned as the owner of the bungalow, while the name of Ramola Bachchan is still mentioned in the property card of the Maharashtra government. According to reports, the controversy resurfaced after attempts were made to register Jaya Bachchan’s name by removing Ramola’s name from the government records.
Ajitabh Bachchan and Ramola’s daughter Naina is married to actor Kunal Kapoor.
Questions also raised on the gift deed of 1993
Ramola has challenged not only the transfer of ownership but also the process under which the gift deed was prepared in 1993. According to his complaint, this document was prepared on plain paper without paying stamp duty. It did not even have the signatures of the witnesses. He has also raised questions on the subsequent registration of this document and the process of regularizing it under the ‘Abhay Scheme’ of the Maharashtra Government.
Authority started hearing
In this matter, Andheri Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies officer Faiz Mulani has confirmed receiving the complaint. According to the Mumbai Mirror report, he said that the hearing in the case has started and the concerned parties have been asked to file their replies. At present, the authority has not given any final decision regarding the validity of the 1993 gift deed or the actual ownership of the bungalow.
Ramola Bachchan is a fashion designer by profession.
Amitabh Bachchan got Jalsa as a gift
Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow Jalsa is located in Juhu which is built in approximately 10,125 square feet. This luxurious bungalow was gifted to Amitabh in 1982. Amitabh Bachchan’s film Satte Pe Satta was released in the year 1982. After the great success of this film, the film’s director Ramesh Sippy gifted him this bungalow. After a few years, Big B came to live here with his family. Apart from this, Big B also has two bungalows, Pratiksha and Janak.
