In a recent development, Arpita Khan Sharma, the sister of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, has sold her luxurious apartment in Mumbai’s prime Khar West area for a whopping ₹22 crore. The apartment, located in the prestigious Flying Carpet building, was initially purchased by Arpita in 2017 for ₹18 crore, indicating a significant profit on the sale. The property spans a spacious 2,500 square feet and boasts a 1,600 square feet terrace, offering breathtaking views of the city. The apartment also comes with the convenience of nine car parking spaces, making it a truly premium property.
The buyer of the property is Shivaya Cinewise Private Limited, and the transaction was officially registered on October 10th. The deal involved the payment of ₹1.32 crore as stamp duty and an additional ₹30,000 for registration charges.
The Flying Carpet building itself is a testament to luxury living in Mumbai. Situated in Khar West, a coveted location known for its proximity to the Gymkhana Club and popular areas like Carter Road, Bandra Bandstand, and Pali Hill, the building is home to several Bollywood celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Ranbir Kapoor. According to local property brokers, the building houses 3 and 4 BHK apartments, priced between ₹60,000 and ₹70,000 per square foot, reflecting the high-end nature of the area.
This sale comes amidst recent security concerns surrounding Salman Khan, who has received death threats in recent times. In October, the Mumbai traffic police received a threat message demanding ₹5 crore from the actor. A case was filed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for extortion, and local police are currently investigating the matter. Initial findings suggest that the threat might not be serious, but it’s being taken seriously as the Lawrence Bishnoi gang previously targeted Salman Khan.
Arpita Khan Sharma’s sale of her luxurious apartment further highlights the thriving real estate market in Mumbai’s upscale areas, especially among Bollywood celebrities. The high prices and demand for premium properties in these locations underscore their appeal as desirable addresses for the rich and famous.
