Dev Anand's Juhu house sold for a whopping ₹400 crore and will be replaced by a 22-storey tower.
Veteran Bollywood actor Dev Anand had achieved many milestones in his life and one of his most prized possessions was his lavish residence located in the posh locality of Juhu in Mumbai. After his demise, the property was left abandoned as his family moved out and settled in different cities.

It looks like the family has finally decided to let go of the bungalow, instead of continuing its neglect. Dev Anand had built the house in Juhu in 1950, when the locality was far from bustling and was rather a secluded area surrounded by greenery. The actor passed away in 2011 and since then, the house had been left abandoned.

According to a report, Dev Anand's son has settled down in the US, while his wife Kalpana and daughter Devina live in Ooty. It has now emerged that the actor's bungalow has been sold to a real estate company for a staggering Rs 400 crore. The place is now one of the most prime areas, housing the abodes of several prominent industrialists and celebrities. The report also stated that the bungalow will be torn down and replaced with a 22-storeyed building.

Dev Anand and his family stayed in the Juhu residence for 40 years, but after his passing, there was no one to look after it. As a result, the family also sold some of their other properties in Panvel.

About Dev Anand, he was one of the first superstars of Indian cinema. In his career spanning over six decades, the actor starred in more than 100 films. For his contributions to the film industry, he was honoured with the Padma Bhushan and Dadasaheb Phalke Award. Not just an actor, but Dev Anand was also a writer, director and producer. He was among the few who were part of the transition of Indian cinema from black and white to coloured films. His death left the entire nation mourning when he passed away on December 3, 2011, in London.
