Cricket icon and India’s legendary batsman moved into a new house, a house sketched out of his dreams fulfilled by the articraft skilly wife, Anjali. The icon had a small issue with the Mumbai's civic body Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) who imposed a penalty of Rs. 4.75 lakhs on him for shifting into the house without acquiring the Occupancy Certificate (OC). But later was sorted out by the timely intervention of the Textiles minister and guardian minister for Mumbai (suburbs) Naseem Khan, who spoke to the BMC. The civic body decided to withdraw the tax that was imposed on the iconic Indian cricketer after the mediation.
Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar moved into his palatial villa spread over 6,000 square feet at Perry Cross Road in suburban Bandra. The new home has been reconstructed on a plot that earlier housed a dilapidated bungalow, which Sachin had bought for Rs 39 Cr in 2007. The villa has been secured with high walled fencing, CCTV cameras and sensors. Besides the three storeys above the ground level, the villa, designed after taking into consideration Tendulkar’s likes and dislikes, reportedly has two underground basements.
According to reports, Tendulkar and his wife Anjali are likely to have their bedroom on the top floor, while the rooms of their two children – son Arjun and daughter Sara – and a guest room will occupy the two floors below. A temple, drawing and dining rooms, besides arrangements for displaying various awards and trophies won by Tendulkar, who holds most of the batting records and is one short of completing a century of international tons, will occupy most of the ground floor. The first basement will house servant quarters and master surveillance room, while the second basement has been kept for Tendulkar’s passion – cars. It is said to have a parking capacity of a large number of cars. It can hold 45-50 cars at a time. Besides all these, there is a swimming pool on the terrace of the house, reports said.
The house has been made keeping the vastu elements in mind with special emphasis given to the kids’ quarters.
