A post shared by Amitabh Bachchan (@amitabhbachchan) on

Actor Amitabh Bachchan’s Juhu bungalow — Jalsa — a 10,125 Sq. ft. double-storied house, is nothing short of a pilgrimage for his fans, who gather around the house every Sunday. And the actor obliges, and waves at them. The actor also bought a piece of land behind Jalsa, and the common wall between the two bungalows has been demolished. While Amitabh has been living in Jalsa for many years now, it was Prateeksha, which he calls a tribute to his parents, where the actor lived for 40 years along with parents Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan, and his own family including wife Jaya, son Abhishek and daughter Shweta. Apart from these two bungalows, the 74-year-old also owns an apartment worth Rs 1.75 crore and a house in Bhopal, which he bought while he was shooting for Satyagraha.

A post shared by Gauri Khan (@gaurikhan) on

Actor Ranbir Kapoor earlier shared an apartment in Mumbai’s Bandra area with ex-girlfriend, actor Katrina Kaif, but shifted out of the rented property in January 2016, after their break-up. He has bought a plush apartment in Pali Hills, Mumbai. The 2,460 Sq. ft. flat is on the seventh floor of the building named Vastu. The actor reportedly spent Rs 35 crore for his bachelor pad, interiors for which have been done by Shah Rukh Khan’s wife Gauri Khan.

Although actor Sonam Kapoor stays with her family in Juhu, she bought a swanky pad in Signature Island Property in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in 2015. According to reports, Sonam splurged Rs 30 crore for the duplex flat that spreads across 7000 Sq. ft.and runs across third and fourth floor of the building.

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan recently moved into a plush, 3,600 Sq. ft, sea-facing apartment in (Mumbai) Juhu’s Prime Beach building that has an open garden. While the interiors of the house are spacious, the most attractive part of the house remains the wall that is covered with pictures of Hrithik with his sons, Hrehaan (11) and Hredhaan (9). According to reports, out of the four bedrooms, Hrithik has converted two of them into a gym equipped with all modern workout machines. Of the remaining two rooms, while one continues to be his bachelor zone, the other room has been nicely done up for his sons with one wall completely covered with the world map. Hrithik is reportedly paying a rent of Rs 6.5 lakh for this flat.

Alia Bhatt

Actor Alia Bhatt’s new pad, which she shares with sister Shaheen, is nothing short of a dream home.

Located near her parents’ residence, the house has been designed by filmmaker Vikas Bahl’s wife, Richa Bahl, and is away from the Bollywood glitz and glamour. Rather, Alia didn’t want the interiors to be modern at all and opted for old New York-ish decor with white walls, comfortable sofas, concrete-tiled floors and expansive windows with a view of Mumbai’s tropical trees. While the four bedrooms were reconfigured to three, it’s interesting that Alia has kept her dressing room as a separate space from the house to ensure it remains private. The pad has a special tea bar that was made for the Bhatt sisters, who are known to be obsessed with tea.

John Abraham
