Amitabh Bachchan has made another big land purchase in Ayodhya, further deepening his ties with the city. This time, the land has been bought through the Harivansh Rai Bachchan Memorial Trust, which he set up in memory of his father. The newly purchased plot is quite large, covering 54,454 square feet, and is located about 10 kilometres from the Ram Mandir. This is his second property in Ayodhya, following an earlier purchase on January 16 in Haveli Avadh. That land was bought for ₹4.54 crore, making this a significant investment.
Pratap Singh, an official from Ayodhya’s stamp and registration department, confirmed that both sale deeds have been completed. However, he mentioned that the exact purpose of these purchases would only become clear once the local development authority approves the building plans. Both transactions were carried out by Rajesh Rishikesh Yadav on behalf of Amitabh Bachchan and the Harivansh Rai Bachchan Memorial Trust. While there is curiosity about what these properties will be used for, no official details have been shared yet.
According to a source, the land in Haveli Avadh, which is closer to the Ram Mandir, is likely meant for residential use. Meanwhile, the larger piece of land that was just bought could be used for a social or charitable purpose under the trust. Bachchan founded the Harivansh Rai Bachchan Memorial Trust in 2013 to support various charitable activities. He has always been deeply involved in philanthropy and has said that he personally takes part in fundraising efforts to help those in need.
On the professional front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD and Vettaiyan in 2024. Both films were well received by audiences and critics alike, proving once again why he remains one of the most respected actors in the industry. Even after so many years, his presence on screen continues to impress fans.
