Khakhan Manzil Wazirganj

This huge massive property belongs to Huzoor Nawab I was told this morning by my wife's nephew Pappu who stays near Khakhan Manzil.

 

He was speaking very highly of the Nawabs illuminating ancestry and his other vast properties near Baradari.

 

So I told Pappu that when I was a child my paternal grandmother Khurshed Baji and her friend Chanda Baji a Hindu lady who had become Shia would bring me to Khakhan Manzil to meet the matriarch of this royal noble family.

 

I would watch the fountain that was in their courtyard.

Now 65 years old I have still not forgotten that one childhood visit to Khakhan Manzil.

 

And a little further ahead is the family house of Ajay Kashmiri nephew of doyen of Indian cinema Nawab Kashmiri .

 

We stayed as tenants of Nawab Kashmiris family at Khatau Bhuvan Wodehouse Road Colaba.
