Mumbai:
Actress Sadhana has had a run-in over the property she has been staying in, again. This time, it's with the proprietor, singer Asha Bhosle. Bhosle has given a written application (copy with MiD DAY) to the police alleging that the actress is encroaching on land in the bungalow she owns.
The 70-year-old actress lives as a tenant at Sangeeta bungalow in Khar (W), which is owned by Bhosle.
Besides Sadhana, there are two other tenants in the house, one of them being Yusuf Lakdawala, with whom Sadhana had an ugly public spat in 2010.
Now the actress is fighting over the garden in the bungalow located at Ramkrishna Mission Road.
In Bhosle's complaint to the Santacruz police station, she has alleged that Sadhana, a tenant in the bungalow, is forcefully encroaching on the garden area. She also alleged that Sadhana didn't let her go to the garden when she went to visit, saying that the area was hers.
Asha Bhosle said in her complaint, "Sadhana is only a tenant and the garden area belongs to me; I am the owner."
She added that after her attempts to resolve the dispute failed, she approached the police.
Sadhana has stayed in the bungalow for more than 50 years. DCP (Zone IX) Pratap Dighavkar said, "We received the letter from the singer. We will now record both their statements. After taking their statements we will investigate the matter, but it is a civil case."
Despite repeated attempts, Sadhana remained unavailable for comment.
Old troubles
Earlier, Sadhana had got into a dispute with neighbour Lakdawala.
The 68-year-old actress, known for lead roles in films like Mera Saya and Woh Kaun Thi, resides on the ground floor of Bhosle's two-storey bungalow, while Lakdawala stays on the second floor.
In August 2010, she lodged a complaint with the Santacruz police, alleging that Lakdawala had threatened to kill her if she did not vacate her rented 3,000-sq ft flat.
Following this, Lakdawala was arrested in November 2010 and let off on bail a day after.
He then approached the Bandra Magistrate Court claiming that he had been falsely implicated and defamed by Sadhana, and that he had never threatened the actress. After verifying mobile phone data from both parties, police submitted a report stating that the complaint filed by the actress appeared to be false.
