The Starlet building reconstruction at Carter Road is to be Salman Khan's dream home

From starlet to star

Word on the street is that the Starlet building reconstruction at Carter Road is to be Salman Khan's dream home

Salman Khan's dream to build a high rise building at Carter Road in Bandra has been squashed by the concerned authorities. The plot does not meet the construction requirements of a high-rise, so Salman will instead build a five-storied building.

Our source informed, "Salman had bought all the flats in the three-storied building called Starlet. He had plans to build his dream bungalow replete with a swimming pool and a huge gym. However, during construction, some problems cropped up, forcing him to change his construction plans to a high rise building. But even this plan was not passed as the building came under the jurisdiction of the Coastal Regulation Zone and Environment Notification Act of 1996. So Salman has now decided to build a five-storied building instead. Salman will shift there along with his parents. Salman's dream house is expected to incorporate all that his heart fancies. The construction work of the building is already on in full swing."

Considering the fact that the earlier plan of building the bungalow didn't go as per plan and the news of building the bungalow was also leaked out to the media; the new change of plan has been kept under wraps.

Salman's media consultant said, "Salman was never building a bungalow there. The Khan family already had some flats in the building, which has now gone for redevelopment. So after construction, flats will again be allotted to them."

On the other hand, builder S. V Anand, completely denied Salman's involvement in the building. Anand said, "Earlier Salman was interested in constructing a bungalow here but not anymore. Right now, we are constructing a new society here and Salman is no longer involved with the building."

However, our source maintains that Salman is indeed constructing the building for himself.
