A small-town boy making it big in the city of dreams is always a story worth a read! Kartik Aaryan, who hails from Gwalior, and comes from a humble background, has become a household name today. Holding an engineering degree, Kartik moved to Mumbai with a dream in his eyes. After a significant period of struggle, Kartik was finally noticed for his unique role and lengthy monologue in Pyar ka Punchnama. This was followed by a series of successful movies, which made him one of the emerging stars of Bollywood.
However, one of his biggest box office successes was the 2018-buddy drama Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety which is also considered to be his breakthrough movie. The actor further gained a lot of prominence as he starred in several other romantic comedies, such as Luka Chuppi and Pati Patni Aur Woh (both 2019). One of his recent hits was the comedy horror film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), the highest-grossing release of his career. Kartik has also tried some different genres and has even played the villain in thrillers Dhamaka (2021) and Freddy (2022).
As fame and money followed, Kartik shifted to a better and bigger house. But there are quite a few facts about the actor's new abode that only a few people know.
Let us have a glimpse at the Bollywood actor's house in Mumbai and also know a little about the previous residents:
Leased From Shahid Kapoor
Kartik Aaryan apartment was once home to Shahid Kapoor. The sprawling property spread over 3,681 sq. ft now has the Shehzada actor residing in it. On a 36-month lease, the Bollywood star has agreed to pay a monthly rent of ₹7.5 lakhs. However, this is only for the first year, and the rental will increase by 7% on a yearly basis. Also, according to sources, the actor paid Rs. 45 lakhs as a security deposit before shifting to Juhu from his Bandra apartment.
Location and Infrastructure
The property is located in one of Mumbai's poshest areas – Juhu and is on the ground floor of the Praneta Building on Juhu Tara Road. The place offers unrestricted views of the Arabian Sea, where the actor can unwind after an exhausting day at work. Moreover, Kartik Aaryan's House in Mumbai serves as the perfect bachelor pad with various spots that are perfect to host parties for friends.
Monotone Theme
Kartik Aaryan's new residence has a minimalistic style and is full of classic and timeless designs. And while Kartik's personality seems to be humourous and quirky, his choice of décor seems to be a lot more subtle and simple. The actor's place houses a number of artistic pieces and modern wooden décor that make it more appealing.
And why not! Black and white is one combination that can never go wrong. Kartik also enjoys such tones. Moreover, his vibrant sweatshirts and bright-coloured shoes will pop even more in pictures with a subtle background like this.
While the place looks amazing with the evergreen black and white, Kartik's new abode looks a lot more aesthetically appealing, thanks to the large mirrors, plush sofas, and wire-design chairs he has opted for. The Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 actor has done a great job decorating this space and giving it a personal touch.
Traditional Touch
Kartik Aaryan's new address definitely has a lot of modern and contemporary accents, but there are also quite a few spots that exhibit a traditional vibe. This is what offers the property a perfect blend of modern and classic. While being urban, Kartik has also managed to maintain the characteristic features of a typical Indian household. With overhead lighting, area rugs, and accent chairs, this house also offers that cosy and homely feel.
Sea-facing Backyard
One of the most impressive features of this property is the sea-facing backyard which is something you might have seen on Shahid Kapoor's Instagram feed as well. This was one spot where Misha posed for pictures with her dad. Well, that is quite obvious when you have a backyard that offers an unrestricted view of the Arabian Sea. The family also used the spot to unwind, host outdoor parties, family get-togethers, or simply to meditate or perform yoga poses. Shahid used this spot for his workout sessions as well.
