The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) 2024 lottery results have brought joy to several prominent Marathi celebrities, who have secured their dream homes in Mumbai. Among the lucky winners is none other than Shiv Thakare, the popular Bigg Boss 16 finalist and Marathi Bigg Boss winner. Shiv has acquired a spacious and luxurious residence in Powai, classified under the High-Income Group (HIG) category, valued at approximately ₹ 1.78 crore. This achievement marks a significant milestone in Shiv’s journey, reflecting his remarkable rise to fame and success.
Joining Shiv on the list of lucky winners are talented actresses Gautami Deshpande and actor Nikhil Bane. Gautami, known for her compelling performances, has secured a residence in Goregaon, while Nikhil, popular for his role in the comedy show ‘Hasya Jatra’, has acquired a home in Kannamwar Nagar, Vikhroli.

He had even revealed that his journey to homeownership had been a long and challenging one, involving financial struggles and perseverance.
Shiv’s journey from delivering newspapers and milk in his hometown Amravati to becoming a reality show star and now a proud homeowner is truly inspiring. His success is a testament to his hard work, talent, and unwavering dedication to his craft.
While details regarding the exact location and specifications of the homes acquired by the celebrities are not readily available, their inclusion in the MHADA lottery list underscores the scheme’s importance in providing affordable housing options to individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those in the entertainment industry.
