South superstar Dhanush bought a new bungalow in Chennai's posh area POS Garden last year. The price of this house is said to be around Rs 150 crore.
Dhanush's bungalow is near the house of superstar Rajinikanth and former Tamil Nadu CM late Jayalalithaa. Talking about the recent debate over owning such a huge property, Dhanush shared an incident from his childhood. The actor also told why he bought a house in this area. Dhanush spoke about this on stage at the pre-release event of the upcoming film 'Ryan' held in Hyderabad. Dhanush said, 'If I had known that buying a house in Poes Garden would become such a big deal, I would have bought a small apartment. Shouldn't a person like me buy a house in Poes Garden? A man born on the street should live there all his life? At the event, Dhanush said, let me tell you a small story about why I bought a house in Poes Garden. When I was 16 years old, I went to see Rajinikanth's house with my friends. I stopped the bike and saw, on one side there is Rajini Sir's house and on the other side is Jayalalitha Amma's house. I thought in my mind that one day I will also be able to buy at least a small house in a posh area like Poesgarden. Today I gifted a house in Poesgarden to 16-year-old Venkatesh Prabhu (his real name). After the video of Dhanush's event went viral, people started trolling the actor. Users reminded the actor that he is not an outsider but the son of Kasturi Raja, who was once a famous director of the South. Some users said that Dhanush never lived on the streets. He was born in a very good family.
