Amitabh Bachchan’s growing real estate investments in Ayodhya have often made headlines. Now, entrepreneur Abhinandan Lodha has revealed how the Bollywood icon personally reached out to him in the middle of the night to buy land in the holy city. He also shared how Bachchan wasted no time in sealing the multi-crore deal
How Amitabh Bachchan purchased Ayodhya land at 3 am
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Abhinandan Lodha, Founder and CMD of The House of Abhinandan Lodha, revealed that he was in Australia in 2023 when Bachchan approached him at around 3 am local time. “There were a couple of missed calls, followed by a message that read, âThis is Amitabh Bachchan, please call back when convenient.’ I literally stood up and called him back,” he shared
He continued, “He told me, âAbhinandan ji, main UP se hoon aur mujhe Ayodhya ji mein land leni hai (I am a native of Uttar Pradesh and I want to buy land in the holy town of Ayodhya).’ I told him, âWe will do it for you.'”
“Bachchan first asked me about the price,” he said. “I replied, âHow can I talk pricing with you?’ He said he wanted to buy 15,000 sq ft, and I told him it may be around Rs 15 crore. The very next day, he sent me Rs 15 crore,” Lodha added
About Amitabh Bachchan’s investments
According to Mint, Ayodhya seems to be Big B’s favourite place. Before the Ram Mandir inauguration last year, he reportedly paid Rs 4.54 crore. He also made a deal involving a Rs 14.5 crore investment in the Sarayu project and acquired a 25,000-square-foot plot in the city, which was registered under his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s trust. In May 2025, the actor also purchased a plot of about 25,000 square feet at a cost of nearly Rs 40 crore
In March 2026, Big B expanded his real estate footprint in Ayodhya, home to the Ram Mandir, by purchasing a 2.67-acre land parcel for Rs 35 crore from The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL)
Besides Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor also owns a piece of land in Lord Rama’s birthplace. He purchased a land parcel worth Rs 3.31 crore. This comes amid his portrayal of Lord Ram in Ramayana
