Javed Akhtar has purchased a vested apartment in Juhu area of Mumbai.
Javed Akhtar has bought a new property in Juhu area of Mumbai for Rs 7.76 crore. The ready-to-move-in property is spread over approximately 1199.42 sq. ft.
According to documents reviewed by SquareYards, the transaction completed on July 2 involved stamp duty of Rs 46.02 lakh and registry fee of Rs 30,000. The property is located in the Sagar Samrat Building in the posh Juhu area of Mumbai, which is known for its luxury properties and celebrity residences.
According to the report, Akhtar had earlier purchased an adjacent apartment of 1218.47 square feet for Rs 7 crore in 2021. He currently resides in this co-operative housing society and occupies an apartment on a different floor from these two properties.
In an earlier interview with Mojo Story, Javed had talked about his properties in Juhu and his ongoing project to build his dream home in the same area. He told that due to the long construction period, he currently lives in a small two-room flat with his wife Shabana Azmi. During the conversation he jokingly said that arguments over home decor can put a strain on his marriage but he is adept at resolving his issues.
He said that We are currently building a house in Juhu and it has been almost two years in the making. So, thankfully we have two additional small flats in the same building and we are living there. This house can pay for our marriage. We argue about home decor things like where the sofa will look best etc., but eventually we outgrow them. After half an hour of unpleasant fighting we talk normally.
