Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has made headlines again, this time for a savvy real estate transaction. According to property registration documents accessed by CRE Matrix, the veteran superstar has sold two adjoining luxury apartments in Goregaon East, Mumbai, for a combined sum of ₹12 crore. The actor, who had purchased the units in 2012 for ₹8.12 crore, has earned a return on investment of approximately 47% over 13 years.
The two units are situated on the 47th floor of the prestigious Oberoi Exquisite building, one of Goregaon East’s most sought-after residential addresses. Both transactions were executed in quick succession:
- In the first deal, a 1,820 sq ft apartment was sold to Asha Ishwar Shukla for ₹6 crore, with a stamp duty of ₹30 lakh and a registration fee of ₹30,000. This transaction was registered on October 31, 2025.
- In the second deal, a similarly sized apartment was sold to Mamta Surajdev Shukla for ₹6 crore, with identical stamp duty and registration charges, registered on November 1, 2025.
Both apartments came with a total of four car parking spaces, further enhancing their appeal in a city where parking is a premium commodity. While a query has been sent to Amitabh Bachchan regarding the sales, neither he nor the buyers could be reached for comments at the time of reporting.
A Look at Amitabh Bachchan’s Real Estate Portfolio
These latest sales form part of a long-standing pattern of strategic real estate investments by the Bachchan family. In January 2025, Amitabh sold a duplex apartment in Andheri, Mumbai, for ₹83 crore. The 5,185 sq ft unit, located in The Atlantis, had been one of the actor’s prized assets in the city.
Amitabh and his son Abhishek Bachchan have been particularly active in the Mumbai real estate market over the last few years. In 2024, Abhishek purchased six apartments in Oberoi Realty’s Oberoi Sky City project in Borivali for a total of ₹15.42 crore. Around the same period, the father-son duo acquired 10 apartments in Oberoi Realty’s Eternia project in Mulund West, collectively worth ₹24.94 crore.
In addition to urban properties, Amitabh has recently ventured into coastal real estate. Last month, he acquired three adjoining land parcels in Alibaug, a coastal town near Mumbai popular for second homes and retreats. The combined 9,557 sq ft property was purchased for ₹6.59 crore as part of the 'A Alibaug' Phase-2 project, developed by the House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL).
Amitabh’s real estate activities reflect broader trends in Mumbai’s luxury housing market. The city remains a prime destination for high-net-worth individuals and celebrities seeking long-term wealth creation and lifestyle enhancement. Goregaon, Borivali, and Mulund, among other suburbs, have seen sustained demand for premium residential properties, driven by robust infrastructure, connectivity, and lifestyle amenities.
According to reports, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) continues to record strong investor interest despite nationwide shifts in property prices. Factors such as ready-to-move-in projects, limited high-end inventory, and increasing input costs have led to steady appreciation in premium segments.
The trend is not isolated to Mumbai. Other top Indian cities, including Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, have witnessed notable growth in luxury property prices. PropTiger’s Q3 2025 report highlighted a 19% year-on-year increase in Delhi-NCR, followed by 15% in Bengaluru and 13% in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, the total value of properties sold across India’s top eight residential markets surged by 14% to ₹1.52 lakh crore, reflecting a shift toward higher-value homes.
Celebrity Investments: Strategic and Lucrative
Amitabh Bachchan’s real estate transactions underscore a growing trend among Indian celebrities: leveraging property investments for both financial returns and lifestyle benefits. Bollywood stars, industrialists, and high-net-worth individuals are increasingly focusing on premium and luxury properties that offer high capital appreciation and long-term stability.
For instance, actors like Akshay Kumar recently sold two apartments in Borivali for ₹7.10 crore, realizing over 90% ROI. Such investments provide a tangible, appreciating asset class in contrast to the volatility of other financial instruments, while also offering desirable urban living or vacation options.
Mumbai’s appeal to celebrities is clear: the city combines exclusivity, connectivity, luxury amenities, and strong capital appreciation potential. High-rise apartments, premium residential enclaves, and coastal retreats like Alibaug continue to attract long-term investors seeking both returns and lifestyle upgrades.
As urban India continues to see rising demand for luxury homes and integrated living spaces, celebrity-driven real estate moves like those of Amitabh Bachchan provide valuable insights into market behavior. For investors, they signal opportunities in high-end housing and strategically located properties that combine lifestyle, connectivity, and long-term value appreciation.
