Ajay Devgn’s Juhu Bungalow Faces Hammer Action As BMC Demolishes 'Unauthorised Construction'

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has demolished parts of Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn's bungalow in Mumbai's Juhu area, days after a stop-work notice was issued over "unauthorised" construction. According to civic officials, the demolition was carried out at the actor’s bungalow in Kapole Co-operative Housing Society in Juhu. The action reportedly targeted portions of the interior work that were allegedly undertaken without the necessary authorisation.

The actor's side claimed that they had sought four weeks to respond to the notice. However, the civic body did not receive a reply, after which officials proceeded with the demolition.

Actor didn't respond yet

Ajay Devgn has not publicly reacted to the demolition so far. It also remains unclear whether the actor will challenge the civic body’s action or submit the necessary documents to the authorities.

The development comes as the BMC continues to take action against alleged unauthorised construction across Mumbai. More details are awaited. According to the civic body, internal alterations, erection of partition walls, window modifications, and other structural works were being carried out at the bungalow without the necessary municipal permissions. In this regard, the BMC issued a formal notice on September 10 under Section 354A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, directing the immediate halt of work and the submission of valid documentation.

Vimal Elaichi Controversy

Devgn found himself in the centre of another controversy for appearing in a 'Vimal Elaichi' advertisement, with the Maharashtra Food Development Authority (FDA) issuing a show-cause notice to him along with actors Shah Rukh Khan and Tiger Shroff.The actors were ordered to immediately halt their participation in the campaign, pull down promotional content from their official social media handles, and provide comprehensive written explanations. They were also asked to submit proof of due diligence and details of their brand endorsement financial contracts.

Maharashtra FDA chief Tukaram Mundhe, popularly known as 'Singham', had said that the scrutiny stems from concerns that the advertisement could potentially serve as a surrogate for a banned product.
