Since his silver screen debut in Biwi Ho To Aisi in 1988 and his first superhit movie Maine Pyar Kiya in 1989, Salman Khan has reigned over Bollywood as a leading actor and an idol most of us look up to. His romantic movies are just as loved as his action flicks, and his comedy roles are just as admired, making him the superstar of the masses. However, if there are two things Salman is most admired for across the country, they are his fitness regimens and his simple lifestyle. Despite his superstar status, Salman Khan's residence is a modest flat in one of the high-rises of Bandra West.
Let's take a look at all we know about this celebrity home.
The famed Galaxy Apartments
Despite his resounding success in Bollywood, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan star has desisted from building himself a mansion or even a 2, 3 BHK flat in Mumbai. For over 40 years, Salman Khan's home has been a 1 BHK L-shaped apartment on the ground floor of the famous Galaxy Apartments in Bandra. This stretch of Mumbai is known as a celebrity row and is home to some of the most famous actors in Mumbai, including Shah Rukh Khan and Rekha. Salman's father, Salim Khan, is a renowned scriptwriter for Hindi films, and this is the house that Salman grew up in. The star's love for his family and modest living is evident from the fact that his parents live in the flat on the 1st floor of the same high-rise. Khan and his brothers grew up in this apartment and still get together to celebrate most festivals and family occasions.
Pastel Paradise
Salman Khan is very proud of his home at Galaxy Apartments, and most of his social media posts feature the interiors of this beautiful flat. Tastefully done up in shades of cream, off-white, and neutral colours, the home is a picture of serenity. The sofa and other pieces of furniture blend wood with fabric, while a stain-glass partition separates the living and dining areas. The home is pet-friendly, and Salman's dogs, Mowgli (Labrador Retriever) and Saint (Saint Bernard) are quite at home in the apartment. The riveting use of overhead lighting adds brightness and warmth to the interiors of this home.
Star-struck Bandra Bandstand
The Bandra Bandstand neighbourhood is one of the top posh societies in Mumbai. Several movie stars, actors, business tycoons, and entrepreneurs have made this calm and serene locality their home. Crowds of fans can often be seen outside Mannat (Shah Rukh Khan's bungalow), Galaxy Apartments, and other celebrity homes in the vicinity. News reports peg the value of Salman Khan's apartment at INR 100 crores. Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, and Siddharth Malhotra are other famous actors who own bungalows or flats in Bandra.
More from Mumbai
Over the years, the superstar has reportedly invested in several properties in Mumbai, a city he loves very deeply. His latest investment is an ultra-luxurious triplex apartment in an upscale project called The Address. This is also located in Bandra. This magnificent apartment occupies 11-13 floors of the building and offers incredible views of the Arabian Sea. In addition, the 4 BHK apartment is said to feature a swimming pool, entertainment area, and a billiards room.
Farmland Love
Apart from his Galaxy Apartments flat, Salman Khan also owns a sprawling and verdant farmhouse in Panvel. This is the stars retreat from the bustle of Mumbai, where he spent a major part of the pandemic lockdown period. This is where we see Salman's love of Nature and often find the star indulging himself in farming, sketching, riding, and cycling. One cannot but wonder at the contrast between the simplicity of the Bandra residence, which is his family home and the gala parties he throws at this farmhouse. The Panvel property consists of three bungalows, an outdoor swimming pool, stables, and farmland. The farmhouse, named Arpita Farms (after his adoptive sister, Arpita), is spread over an area of 150 acres and has an estimated value of INR 80 crores. The Tiger Zinda Hai star also reportedly owns a beach house spread over 100 acres of land near Gorai Beach.
Salman's Dubai Home
Like Bandra's other superstar resident, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman also owns an imposing and luxurious property in Dubai. The Address Downtown is a majestic 63 storied building, one of the tallest in the world. Salman's apartment in the high-rise offers spectacular views of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain. This fabulous Emirate of Dubai seems to be a favourite of the star, and he stays in his regal apartment whenever he is there on shooting or for a vacation.
With his love of all things in Mumbai, we remain eager to see more of Salman Khan's home in his social media posts.
