The owner of the bungalow, Shankar Tiwari, had said, "I am the owner of the bungalow. Babu ji and Amitabh were tenants paying a rent of Rs 16. This bungalow will not be their house just because they were living here as a tenant."

The report says, in 1984, Amitabh had come to Allahabad and claimed the house as his own during the election and that caused a rift between the house owner and the Bachchans. Since then, Shankar Tiwari did not let any member of the Bachchan family enter the house. However, Shankar Tiwari is no longer alive. But his caretaker Krishna Kumar Pandey is still following his rule.
