Sourav Ganguly cut a dapper picture at the shoot of Avidipta Phase II HIG, on EM Bypass, recently, of which t2 got an exclusive sneak peek. Like all of us, Sourav too spent a lot of time at home in the pandemic. “In spite of the pandemic, some or the other work kept happening and work from home became a rule for everyone. Some of the tables and chairs we hadn’t used before came into play because of the need to create an area for your own work.... You can enjoy your cup of tea, watch TV or sit with your computer or enjoy your holiday afternoon nap. A couch in one fine corner is also very crucial,” Sourav told t2.

The former skipper also gave us a sneak peek of his lockdown schedule. “I am fortunate enough to have a lovely verandah at my house, a long, wide verandah which overlooks the green gardens. Spending time there is also peaceful and relaxing, especially with a cup of tea. I love my biscuits. So, a couple of biscuits with a hot cup of Darjeeling tea, around 5 o’clock in the evening when the sun is going down... you enjoy it from your balcony, it’s very special. I have enjoyed the garden area as well. I exercised in that area. A walk around the swimming pool in the evening when it’s breezy feels great. It’s an Olympic-size pool. Home is home. Every individual finds his relaxing space in that, which is important. Hopefully in Avidipta II, we will provide comfort and relaxation for people,” he said.

For Ketan Sengupta, CEO of Bengal Peerless Housing Development Company, whose ‘latest venture’ is Avidipta Phase II HIG, Sourav was a perfect brand fit. “Sourav Ganguly is considered as a comeback man; we have seen him making several comebacks in his cricketing career. His presence as a brand ambassador has been an inspiration for us… his inclusion as a brand ambassador has really enriched us in all aspects. Our sales figures peaked to the maximum in the last financial year. This indeed is a true justification of having him with us. Sourav himself has booked a flat in Avidipta II, and was really excited over the progress of the project. He believes that owning a home is both financial and emotional security and Avidipta II is indeed a true blend of the same. He appreciated every bit and corner of the model flat and shared his feelings to design his flat the same way,” said Sengupta.
