Well, there I was, grinning like an excited fangirl, parked outside the majestic stronghold of Bollywood’s very own king – Shah Rukh Khan. I kid you not, this place, Mannat, is right smack in the heart of Mumbai. The perfect abode for a king, if you ask me.

Next stop, the divine Rekha’s abode. Now here’s a residence that truly mirrors its occupant – elegant, classic, and slightly elusive. Hidden behind high walls and lush greenery, this beautiful house is nestled by the sea at Bandra Bandstand. Try as I might, there was no peering through the thick curtain of bamboo and trees that kept prying eyes at bay. A perfect fortress of solitude for the ageless queen of Bollywood.
Rekha – Sea Springs
Next, I found myself gravitating towards Fortune Heights, the residence of Bollywood royalty, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Honestly, these two together give me major relationship goals! They’ve been happily cohabiting in this plush sanctuary since 2009, a few years before they officially tied the knot in 2012. With their abode perched on the top floor of the building, I can only imagine the sweeping views of Mumbai they must enjoy.
Mr. Bachchan owns two impressive properties in Mumbai – Prateeksha and Jalsa. A stroll past Prateeksha, a sprawling bungalow in Juhu, was like stepping into a Bollywood time capsule. This was the very abode where he once resided with his parents and later, with his equally talented wife, Jaya Bachchan. Over time, the Bachchan clan decided to nest in Jalsa, another awe-inspiring bungalow nestled in the plush locale of Juhu.
Next on my itinerary was the heavenly abode of the Bollywood Khiladi, Akshay Kumar. Nestled by the sea in Juhu, Akshay’s villa is like a little slice of paradise. But here’s the real kicker – once upon a time, a young, hopeful Akshay was shooed away from this very bungalow during a portfolio photoshoot. Oh, how tables turn!
