My wife Shukla was very apprehensive but we had Kamu Baba (a Goregaon-based saint she believed in) come over and bless it. Bandra was very different then. There were only two buildings on the famous Linking Road, the National College and S.D. Burman’s bungalow, The Jet. No shops, no crowds. Union Park was a jungle. It was only after our colony was set up that Dilip Kumar came to live here.
