A little over two decades ago, Hindi film writer-director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was working on his ambitious project, Devdas. Mounted on a budget of R50 crore, the film found itself mired in one controversy after another. Its producer, diamond merchant Bharat Shah, was jailed for 16 months; crew members died in two separate accidents on the set and some reports said that even a part of the set caught fire on more than one occasion.

Some believed there was more to this tragedy chain than coincidence. Kirron Kher, who was playing Paro’s (Aishwarya Rai) mother, suggested that Bhansali meet Neeta Sinha, who believes that just like people, living spaces also have a horoscope, and the individuals who inhabit the place have a relationship with its energy. They prosper when they are in harmony with their environment.
