BMC enforcement at Ajay Devgn's Juhu bungalow

Overview

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) initiated enforcement actions against actor Ajay Devgn’s bungalow in Juhu following a dispute over its proposed commercial use. In late September 2026, the BMC issued a stop-work notice after residents of the Kapol Co-operative Housing Society complained that the 7,802-square-foot property was being converted into a premium salon and spa. Residents raised concerns regarding increased traffic, noise, and parking issues.

By mid-October 2026, the BMC proceeded to demolish parts of the interior work at the property. Officials stated the demolition was necessary because unauthorized alterations, such as the installation of partition walls and windows, continued despite the previous stop-work notice. The property had reportedly been leased to Florian Hurel Salons Pvt. Ltd. under a five-year agreement.

On October 17, 2026, details emerged regarding the specific nature of the unauthorized work, which included the use of Siporex blocks. While the BMC maintained that construction activities persisted without permission, necessitating demolition under Section 354A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, representatives for Devgn clarified that the property is not his primary residence but a separate unit that has been rented out. His team maintained that they have applied for the requisite permissions and are complying with all applicable BMC rules and regulations.
