Tendulkar's Dream House

[SachDan]

A year after he bought the sprawling 8,998 sq ft plot in Bandra's Perry Cross Road area in Mumbai, cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has finally got a plan for his dream house. Needless to say, the four-storey house will be as grand as the innings he plays. Among other things, it will have a huge parking area (there were six cars at last count), spacious guest rooms and a swimming pool on the top floor. Sachin has submitted the plan to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and it will take a month before it's approved. A civic official said, “The bungalow will have 10 rooms. The area of each floor ranges between 1,710 sq ft and 2,060 sq ft. The ground floor will have three rooms plus parking facilities, the first floor will have two large guest rooms, the master bedroom and the children's rooms will be on the second and third floors while the fourth floor will boast a swimming pool.†The official said Tendulkar had already obtained clearance from the coastal regulation zone (CRZ) II authorities. He has been granted a Floor Space Index (FSI) of one for the plot, which means that he can build a house with an area equal to that of the plot, which is 836 sq metres or 8,998 sq ft. At present, there is an old bungalow, Dorab Villa, on the plot. The bungalow was built in the 1920s and was originally occupied by a Parsi family – the Wardens. It is a ground-plus-onestorey structure measuring around 9,000 sq ft but the entire property is spread over around 10,000 sq ft. According to a neighbour, the bungalow has housed quite a few Bollywood personalities – Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Sunil Dutt, Sanjay Dutt, Priya Dutt, Naushad Ali, Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna and Rekha – have stayed here off and on. Once he shifts into his bungalow, Tendulkar will have actor Naseeruddin Shah for his neighbour. He could also have Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan for neighbours if the couple decides to build a house on a plot they have purchased not far from Dorab Villa. At present, Tendulkar lives in a 3BHK at La Mer Apartments in Bandra (West), Mumbai. http://cricket.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/3544008.cms

sure why not....he can keep making 3s and 5s and continue playing til he is 45 as he is guaranteed a spot in the team....while other players will be judged by their performance. I really want to know....What Sachin is doing for the society? adopting kids? building schools? or adding more money to his already overwhelming bank balance?

Really it's none of your business what he does with his money. You got a problem with it, don't watch Indian cricket.

For your kind information Tendulkar sponsors 200 underprivileged children every year through Apnalaya, a Mumbai-based NGO.

It's not my opinion. Anyone who thinks they can tell another private citizen how to spend their earnings is a delusional fool who needs to be put in his place. That's one of the functions of a democracy. You don't like it, then piss off.
