Aamir Khan bought a two acre property in Panchagani (Wai) for Rs. 7 crore. The house originally belonged to Being Cyrus director Homi Adjana.
Incidentally, his
first directorial debut starring Saif Ali Khan was entirely shot in Panchgani in the same house. The house has four rooms, a spectacular garden coupled with hammocks and
swings as well a well in the backyard.
Panchgani (Wai) holds a special place for Aamir Khan in many a ways. The epic called ‘Mangal Pandey' was shot in here, it is Wai where he falls in love with Kiran Rao who
was an assistant director in Swades and Mangal Pandey. A large portion of Sawdes was also shot in Wai.
After a year of their marriage, Aamir Khan has decided to buy this bungalow in the quaint hill station. Aamir and Kiran will throw a party this Friday for the media and their
close friends. Last heard, Aamir's children with his first wife Reena, Junaid and Ira are also fond of the place.
