All plans of Salman Khan to build a lavish bungalow were shattered when the construction rules forced him to change his plans. According to sources, Salman was interested in buying the plot where Starlet building stands on Carter Road. So he bought most of the flats by offering all the people staying there a very good price. But amongst them all those staying on the ground floor were not ready to move creating problems for quite a few months now.
It is said that Salman also had plans to gift a flat to Katrina in the new building which he was going to construct.
Currently Salman has to build a five storied building there because the sea facing area comes under the jurisdiction of the Coastal Regulation Zone and Environment Notification Act of 1996. According to this act, no construction activities should harm the environment or upset oceanographic Eco-systems.
But according to Salman’s spokesperson who denied all such rumors of Salman constructing a building he also said that Salman’s family already has flats there and they are going to get back the flats once the building is renovated.
