Cricketer Virat Kohli and his wife, actor Anushka Sharma, have purchased a land parcel of over five acres in Alibaug, a popular second-home destination near Mumbai, for ₹37.86 crore, according to property registration documents accessed by CRE Matrix.
This is their second land purchase in the same area in the last four years. The latest purchase involved two land parcels - 1.474 hectares and 0.627 hectares. In 2022, Kohli and Sharma had acquired an around 8-acre land parcel here to build their farmhouse.
The land parcel has been purchased in Zirad village, located near Awas Beach in Alibaug, Raigad District. The two land parcels were purchased for a cumulative value of ₹37.86 crore on January 13, 2026.
A stamp duty of ₹2.27 crore was paid for registering the transaction, along with a registration fee of ₹30,000, as per the documents.
The first plot has an area of 14,740 square metres, and the second plot is 6,270 square metres, totalling 21,010 square metres, as per property registration records.
The seller in the transaction is Sonali Amit Rajput, while Samira Land Assets Private Limited is listed as the confirming party, according to the documents.
A message has been sent to Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma, and the seller, along with an email to Samira Land Assets Pvt Ltd. They have not received any response. The story will be updated if a response is received.
The celebrity couple were in the news around four years ago over purchasing an 8-acre plot for around ₹19 crore. The couple has built a villa on the plot, which features amenities such as a temperature-controlled pool, a bespoke kitchen, four bathrooms, a jacuzzi, a sprawling garden, covered parking and staff quarters.
