Amitabh Bachchan Acquires Fourth Property Near Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan continues to expand his real estate portfolio with a significant investment in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The 82-year-old actor, known for his iconic roles in films like Piku and his hosting of the popular TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), has recently acquired his fourth plot in the city, near the sacred Ram Janmabhoomi temple. The property, which covers an expansive 25,000 square feet, was reportedly purchased for a staggering ₹40 crore.
This latest acquisition is not the first time Big B has invested in Ayodhya. He has a history of making strategic real estate investments in the city. Previously, he invested ₹14.50 crore in the upscale Sarayu real estate project. Just days before the inauguration of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, he bought a 5,372-square-foot plot for ₹4.54 crore.
In a heartfelt statement, Bachchan shared, “This is the start of a heartfelt journey into the soul of Ayodhya, where tradition and modernity seamlessly co-exist, creating an emotional tapestry that resonates with me deeply. I am looking forward to building my home in the global spiritual capital.”
The veteran actor's latest purchase is part of a broader plan to establish a lasting legacy in Ayodhya. Recently, he acquired another plot spanning 54,000 square feet, registered under his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s trust. Reports suggest that he intends to construct a memorial for his late father on this land, further solidifying his connection to the city.
Ayodhya, known for its rich cultural and spiritual heritage, is well-connected to nearby cities, including Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad), the birthplace of Big B. This strategic location adds to the significance of his investments, as it allows him to maintain a strong presence in both the spiritual and cultural spheres of the region.
According to the Hurun India Rich List 2024, Amitabh Bachchan's net worth is approximately ₹1,600 crore. However, other reports suggest that his wealth is around $400 million, which is approximately ₹3,669 crore. Despite his vast wealth, Bachchan remains deeply connected to his roots and continues to make meaningful contributions to the communities he cares about.
The acquisition of these properties in Ayodhya not only reflects Bachchan's strategic financial acumen but also underscores his deep emotional and cultural ties to the region. As he continues to build his presence in Ayodhya, fans and admirers alike look forward to seeing how he will use these properties to honor his heritage and contribute to the city's development.
