Jeetendra talks about being a builder after selling land at whopping Rs 855 crore, says people in movies are emotional but that's not the case in real estate: 'Log chaalaak hai'
Veteran actor Jeetendra , now 83, has found major success in the world of real estate and construction in recent years. In a recent interview, he opened up about his approach to the business and how it's quite different from the typical practices in the industry. The actor known for a variety of movies like 'Parichay', 'Khudgarz', 'Caravan' and many more has ventured into real estate business and is doing quite well. Speaking with the YouTube channel Visionary Studioz, Jeetendra said, 'I am not like a typical builder.' He explained that while most builders sell properties before they're even constructed, he chose a different path. 'Typical builders sell the property before it is made, but I don't like that. So I decided that I will construct the building first, and then I will sell it. I might appear foolish as a normal businessman. ' Having spent five decades in the film industry, Jeetendra shared that he finds a stark difference in the way people operate in both fields. 'I have spent 50 years in the film business and in my time, I don't think I have seen people as nice as them… such nice, kind-hearted people. People in the film business are very emotional but when I started this business, I realised that they have a different system.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like La mejor alarma contra los robos, instalación rápida en un día - 30% descuento Verisure Alarma Ver oferta Undo He added, 'Log chalak hain, sayane hain (People are clever, cunning here),' and admitted that maybe he isn't as sharp in the real estate world. Jeetendra also spoke about the values that bring success in the construction business. 'In the movies, people work with emotions but that doesn't work in real estate. All the successful builders who exist today, they have all done good work and people have appreciated them. And those who are riffraff, those who just run away after completing the construction, make false promises, most of them are behind bars. You are only appreciated for your good work. ' The 'Himmatwala' actor has spoken up about being a builder, just after he made headlines last month as he sold a land parcel in Mumbai's Andheri area for a whopping Rs 855 crore. Reports said the deal involved two adjoining plots totaling about 2.39 acres, with three buildings and around 4.9 lakh sq ft of built-up space.
