Meet Amitabh Bachchan's biggest fan, came to Mumbai after watching…, became his neighbour, sold his Rs 50 crore house to Big B, his name is…
The relationship between stars and their fans is the most interesting and emotional part of the world of films. It is not just a relationship between an actor and audience, but it also includes faith, passion, dreams and one-sided love. Then, considering your favourite actor as God and building his temple or considering his sorrow as your own and praying to God for him. Amitabh Bachchan is the megastar of Bollywood, whose fan following is in millions. Do you know about that fan of Amitabh, who has attracted people with films like 'Deewar', 'Sholay', 'Zanjeer' and 'Trishul', who was so inspired after watching his film 'Trishul' that he decided to open his own construction company and came to Mumbai from Ahmedabad to do what he thought. 'Main aaj bhi phenke hue paise nahin uthaata…', 'Jinake ghar sheeshe ke hote hain, vo doosaron par patthar nahin phenkate!' These hit dialogues are from Amitabh Bachchan's 1978 superhit film 'Trishul'. Salim-Javed's magical writing did wonders. Starring stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Rakhee and Waheeda Rehman, this film did wonders at the box office. After watching this film, Amitabh Bachchan's fan from Ahmedabad reached Mumbai directly. This fan is none other than real estate developer and producer Anand Pandit. His angry young man avatar in films like 'Deewar', 'Sholay', 'Zanjeer' and 'Trishul' inspired many of his fans. One of them is Anand Pandit. In a conversation with Screen, film producer Anand Pandit told how Amitabh Bachchan's 1978 film 'Trishul' inspired him to leave his hometown, Ahmedabad and move to Mumbai. He was 15 years old at that time. Producer Anand Pandit said, 'I have grown up watching Amitabh Bachchan's films. His film 'Trishul' inspired me a lot and inspired me to leave Ahmedabad and go to Mumbai and I also wanted to make my own Shanti Construction Company and luckily today I have made Lotus Developers. His character Vijay inspired me to reach where I am today. This is all because of Bachchan sahab.' As years passed, Anand became Amitabh Bachchan's neighbour. Moreover, he also bought the bungalow right behind 'Jalsa', which he eventually sold to Amitabh in 2013 for Rs 50 crore. He further said, 'I feel fortunate to know him so closely. He treats me like his family. He always stands by me whenever I need him. I had a bungalow next to his and he wanted to expand his bungalow. He requested me to sell my property to him and I happily did so.' According to media reports, Anand Pandit bought the bungalow as an investment in 2010. He lives in the 'Janki Kutir' complex, less than 50 metres from 'Jalsa'. Anand Pandit had once told how he was one of the lakhs of people who flocked to Mr Bachchan's bungalow to catch a glimpse of him. Now the two share a very good relationship.

Meet actress who worked with SRK and Salman Khan, ruled the 90s, dated this hit star, refused to marry this UK-based business, until he.., she is…
Meet actress who worked with SRK and Salman Khan, ruled the 90s, dated this hit star, refused to marry this UK-based business, until he.., she is… In Bollywood, we get to hear fairy-tale love affairs replete with drama and glamour. However, there are a few love affairs that catch the eye, not due to luxury or status—but because of how much one goes to win the heart of the other. One of such unconventional and lesser-known affairs is that between businessman Raj Kundra and actress Shilpa Shetty from Bollywood. What appeared to the world as a picture-perfect couple began with distance, reluctance, and a sweeping romantic overture that turned everything around. Shilpa Shetty, a leading actress of the 90s and early 2000s, wasn't quite ready to commit when she met Raj Kundra for the first time. She was busy with her career and residing in Mumbai, whereas Raj was based in London. The two were matched by a manager, and although Raj was immediately smitten, Shilpa was doubtful. She felt the distance would never be feasible and informed him straight out that she would never be able to leave India or relocate overseas. However, Raj Kundra was not about to let go so soon. In an interview, he shared that once he sensed Shilpa had even a little interest in him, he decided to make his move. Raj explained, 'Main toh haath pair dho ke peeche pad gaya (I chased her like crazy).' Laughing, he did say that it would have been great to say that she had run after him with a lamp in her hand, but actually, he was the one who had followed her with all passion. To demonstrate just how serious he was, Raj took a risk. He called producer Vashu Bhagnani immediately and informed him that he wanted to purchase a house in Mumbai. In 10 minutes, he bought a house in Juhu—literally next door to superstar Amitabh Bachchan's Jalsa. Then he informed Shilpa, 'You had said you want to stay in Mumbai only. I bought a house next to Big B's. Now let's negotiate. This big gesture left Shilpa very impressed. She could see the effort, honesty, and love that went into the move, and it contributed significantly to her agreeing to marry him. The couple got married in November 2009 in a lovely ceremony. Now, they have two kids—a son, Viaan, and a daughter, Samisha. Shilpa Shetty's approximate net worth is around Rs 134 crore. Prior to marrying Raj Kundra, Shilpa was in the limelight for her high-profile relationship with Akshay Kumar. The two were initially said to be engaged but called it off, and they moved away from each other. Shilpa professionally gained success with her entry into films through Baazigar (1993) opposite Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. She became the most bankable star post Dhadkan (2000) and continued to be a sought-after name on film and television. Shilpa and Raj's romance shows that sometimes love is not exactly about timing, but about effort. And in their instance, a house beside Jalsa and determination in one's heart was needed to seal it.
