Sonam Kapoor is now gearing up to move out of her family home in Juhu. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Sonam has bought a plush duplex apartment in Bandra-Kurla Complex. It's a 7000-sq feet pad spread across the 3rd and 4th floors. A source close to the property dealer has been quoted in the report as saying that the purchase is not an investment and that the actress plans to live there. She has got possession but she will only move in after the interiors are ready. Kavita Singh, her mother, Sunita Kapoor's sister, will start on the interiors this week. The source adds, "Her aunt, Kavita, is a well-known interior designer. Sonam too is taking a keen interest in the designing of her new home. Everything will be designed according to her tastes and interests."
While Sonam's plush apartment is awaiting her arrival, the bungalow of yesteryear actor, Rajesh Khanna was sold recently
The first superstar of Bollywood, the late Rajesh Khanna's bungalow was acquired by Mangalurean Shashi Kiran Shetty in August 2014. The iconic sea-facing property will now be demolished to make way for a multi-storey building, a report stated.
The new owner plans to build a three or four-storey building on the 6,500 square-foot property. `We've to redevelop the property since the existing structure is more than 50 years old. The process will start in a couple of months,` said Shetty, executive chairperson of Allcargo Logistics, part of Avvashya Group.
Shetty further stated, `The actor's family probably wanted to screen prospective buyers. I was looking for a property, and this one suited my budget. The deal was done directly with the family with a property consultant. The family was gracious during the process.`
