The story further stated that in the past, Big B also held shares of Fineotex, Birla Pacific Medspa and Neuland Labs.

Around the same time, he also bought three office properties spread across three floors in Oshiwara. A few months before this purchase, Amitabh Bachchan acquired a land parcel in Alibaug to build a sea-facing luxury villa for over Rs. 10 crores.
