Living
in the city on rent used to be a problem best reserved for TV actors
and Bollywood strugglers. But with real estate prices in the maximum
city shooting through the roof steadily, even the biggest names in the
business are now picking up properties on rent, even temporarily.
AAMIR KHAN
Where: Two floors in Freeda, One on Carter Road, right next to
Naivedya, a bungalow that belongs to a close relative of Amitabh
Bachchan and not the Bachchans themselves as was earlier rumoured to be
the case. Did you know? Aamir's current residence has an enviable view
of the sea.
HRITHIK ROSHAN
Where: A floor in Prime Beach, Juhu, the buiding in which Akshay Kumar
has several flats and his office. Did you know? Hrithik's apartment,
still in the process of being done up, has the best view of Juhu Beach.
You can see the waves hitting the shores close enough. The actor's
estranged wife Sussanne and their two sons are staying in a home near
Seven Bungalows, Versova for a killer rent.
SACHIIN JOSHI Where: A fancy apartment (pool included) with an adjoining terrace in one of the best buildings in Pali Hill.
IMTIAZ ALI
Where: Highway filmmaker, Imtiaz Ali stays on rent in Raheja Classique,
somewhat diagonally opposite where his wife Preeti and their daughter
stay in a building complex. Did you know? When Saif Ali Khan moved out
of his bungalow after he divorced Amrita Singh and was dating Roza
Catalano, he stayed on rent in the same area.
SUNNY LEONE
Where: She is staying on rent in Celina Jaitly's apartment in Versova.
Did you know? Tired of staying at hotels, she and her husband Daniel
Weber found this place suited to their temperament and their need for
privacy.
