Amitabh Bachchan’s Ayodhya Land Purchase Fuels Speculation About Memorial for Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan has made another significant land purchase in Ayodhya. The latest acquisition, a 54,454 square-foot plot, was made under the Harivansh Rai Bachchan Memorial Trust and is located about 10kms from Ram Mandir. This marks the second land purchase linked to the Bachchan family in Ayodhya. Previously, in January, the Bollywood megastar had acquired a piece of land in Haveli Avadh for INR 4.54 crore, reports TOI. While the exact purpose of these investments remains unclear, reports suggest that the first plot near the temple may be for ‘residential use’, whereas the newly bought larger plot could serve a ‘social or charitable purpose’.
