The story further stated that in the past, Big B also held shares of Fineotex, Birla Pacific Medspa and Neuland Labs.
Recently, Amitabh Bachchan was also in the news when he purchased apartments in Borivali worth nearly Rs 7 crores from Incline Realty, a subsidiary of Oberoi Realty. It created a buzz in the Mumbai property market as it was rare to see a celeb buying a residence in a suburb like Borivali and away from prime areas like Bandra, Andheri, Juhu etc.
Around the same time, he also bought three office properties spread across three floors in Oshiwara. A few months before this purchase, Amitabh Bachchan acquired a land parcel in Alibaug to build a sea-facing luxury villa for over Rs. 10 crores.
