When Dev Anand spoke about building his dream home

Back in the day, Dev Anand once shed light on building his dream home in Juhu. The actor told a media outlet that when he built his house in 1950, the place wasn’t much known and he fell in love with Juhu’s wilderness. Dev Anand said that Juhu was a small village back then and there was total wilderness.

The veteran actor admitted that he liked living in Juhu because at heart, he was a loner. Dev Anand added that Juhu had become crowded and there were too many people, especially on Sundays. “It’s not the same beach any longer. My Iris Park residence doesn’t have a park anymore, there is a school and four bungalows bang opposite my place,” the actor said in the interview.
