Bollywood’s superstar Shah Rukh Khan has made headlines yet again—this time, not for a blockbuster release, but for a real estate move that’s turning heads. The actor has reportedly leased two lavish duplex apartments in Mumbai’s Pali Hills, Khar West, for a staggering Rs 8.67 crore over three years.
According to property portal Zapkey.com, the lease — registered on February 14 — comes with a combined monthly rent of Rs 24.15 lakh. The high-end residences are nestled within the upscale Puja Casa building, spanning across the first, second, seventh,and eighth floors.
Khan’s leasing decision coincides with plans to expand his iconic Mannat bungalow. Gauri Khan has applied for permission to add two floors to the six-storey annexe, increasing its built-up area by over 600 square meters.
Interestingly, the apartments belong to Bollywood’s Bhagnani family. One duplex, owned by actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani and his sister Deepshikha Deshmukh, was leased for Rs 11.54 lakh per month, while the second, owned by veteran producer Vashu Bhagnani, went for Rs 12.61 lakh monthly. Both agreements are secured with substantial deposits, crossing Rs 68 lakh combined.
Luxury rentals aren’t uncommon in Bollywood. Recently, stars like Shraddha Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor and Kartik Aaryan have all made similar high-profile real estate moves. In 2023, Ranbir rented a unit in Pune’s Trump Towers for Rs 4 lakh per month while Amitabh Bachchan rented out a duplex to Kriti Sanon in 2021 for Rs 10 lakh a month.
