Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday
fulfilled his long cherished dream of living in a house of his own as he moved
into a sprawling bungalow at Perry
Cross Road in suburban Bandra.
Tendulkar has shifted his
residence from La Mer Housing Society, also in Bandra west, to the spacious
villa that is spread over 6,000 square feet.
“Everyone has a dream of owning a
house. I, too, had this dream. I am happy that I was able to fulfill it. The
flat where I earlier used to live, I had received it under the sports quota. I
have now vacated that place, so that some other sportsman can live there,” he
said.
“We had done the 'gruha shanti'
and 'vastu-puja' on July 11, before I left for England. I could not visit Mumbai
after that, but now that I am in the city, today I brought my mother to show
the place,” the senior cricketer said.
“I have lived here after the puja.
But I have not been able to bring the children here yet,” he said.
The batting maestro's new home has
been reconstructed on a plot that housed a dilapidated bungalow, which Sachin
had bought for Rs 39 crore in 2007.
The villa has been secured with
high-walled fencing to avoid curious onlookers. CCTV cameras and sensors have
also been installed.Besides the three storeys above
the ground level, the villa, designed keeping in mind Tendulkar's likes and
dislikes, reportedly has two underground basements.According to the sources close to
Tendulkar, 90 per cent of the shifting process has been done.
