Here we are talking about the veteran actor-director Guru Dutt who created the biggest impact on the film industry with his stellar masterpieces. But, those who know him by their hearts know what a devastating phase this legendary actor had especially when he was living in a Pali Hill Bungalow with his wife Geeta Dutt.

The Mystery of the Pali Hill Bungalow

Earlier, during the conversation with the author, Geeta Dutt’s sister Lalita Lazmi stated that her sister felt that there was some kind of entity in their bungalow that lives on the tree and is continuously trying to ruin her happy marriage with Guru Dutt. She also stated that there was a statue of Lord Buddha in their drawing from which Geeta was also frightened all the time.

After a while, she told to her husband and asked him to leave the bungalow as soon as possible and after knowing this Guru Dutt got devastated by knowing the fact that this house was one of the most ambitious and wonderful things that he had ever accomplished.

The Fights & The End Of Guru Dutt’s Dreamy Mansion

In the book, the author further stated that due to Geeta’s fear their marriage started falling apart. Geeta had an intuition that this bungalow was the sole reason for all the chaos in her life which later turned Guru Dutt’s life into many sleepless nights. As per the book, whenever Guru Dutt went to his studio for the shoot schedule, he took some time off and took a little bit of sleep for a while in a small room.

One day, when Geeta was sleeping in her bungalow she heard some noises from the outside that made her worried as they were breaking into their house. She then instantly telephoned Guru Dutt who was in his studio at that time he answered in a breaking voice and said to Geeta ‘Please let them… I’ve asked them to break it off.’ After this Guru Dutt’s dreamy mansion was demolished and later subsequently redeveloped, becoming a building called ‘Imperial Heights.’
