A cricket fan, Fry was in awe while passing by Sachin Tendulkar's house in Bandra.

Just driving through the old colonial district and had Sachin Tendulkar’s house pointed out to me. I duly bowed in its direction: reverence.

Fry tweeted about Antilia and contrasted it with an old-fashioned South Mumbai building.

“Antilia” the 27 storey Ambani house: most expensive in the world. Built for 5 people (and 100s of staff) twitter.com/stephenfry/sta…
