Aamir denies redevelopment pressure allegations

21st March 2014

Bollywood Superstar Aamir Khan has been famous for his adamant nature to have things his way. 

Be it films or personal life, 'It's my way or the highway' in Aamir's case. And the latest agenda on his list was to buy out his society's plots — Bella Vista and Marina Apartments. 

Aamir has lived in the same building for more than two decades and is very emotionally attached to it. Hence, he took extreme steps to ensure that he keeps a part of the plot for himself. 

We hear that Aamir recently outdid the bid of a well-known construction company by offering an astronomical amount. According to sources, he wants to keep a part of the plot for a new bungalow.

Rumors of Aamir forcing residents to opt for redevelopment was in news, however, Aamir's spokesperson clarified with a statement that read:

"We would like to clarify on behalf of our client, Mr. Aamir Khan, that he denies all allegations regarding him putting any pressure on his society to go in for redevelopment. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Khan left the building more than a year ago, after an incident of a slab of concrete falling on the head of one of the members, resulting in the member being hospitalized.

Thereafter, over the months, in his absence, the society had several meetings and discussions, regarding redevelopment. The general body eventually passed a resolution with 80% majority members voting in favour of redevelopment. Thereafter, society made a request in writing to Mr. Khan to make an offer. Mr. Khan gave the matter due thought and made an offer. In his offer letter, he also suggested to the society to invite other offers to ensure best value for the society and it's members.

Mr. Khan strongly denies any allegations of pressure tactics or misconduct on his part, and takes strong exception to attempts being made to defame him."
