KL Rahul, Athiya Shetty buy luxurious INR 20 crore apartment in Mumbai's Pali Hill

Indian cricketer KL Rahul and his actress wife Athiya Shetty have recently made headlines with their high-profile real estate purchase. The power couple has acquired a luxurious apartment in Mumbai's prestigious Pali Hill area for a staggering INR 20 crore.

The newly purchased property in the upscale Bandra neighbourhood spans 3,350 square feet. Located on the second floor of the Sandhu Palace building, a towering multi-storey establishment, the apartment offers the couple a spacious urban sanctuary.

The building has received a partial occupation certificate from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Pali Hill has long been a coveted address for celebrities and high-net-worth individuals, with property rates often exceeding INR one lakh per square foot.

Several other celebrities have preferred Pali Hill, and has become one of the most posh localities in the city of dreams.

The transaction details reveal that the couple paid a stamp duty of INR 1.20 crore and a registration fee of INR 30,000. The deal, registered on July 15, also includes four car parking spaces, a valuable asset in the congested city of Mumbai.

The couple's relationship, which began as a friendship and blossomed into romance, has been in the public eye since they made it Instagram-official in 2020. Their wedding in January 2023 was a much-celebrated affair, and recent viral photos from their first-anniversary celebration have only added to their public appeal.

Rahul, after leading the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2024, was absent from India's T20 World Cup 2024 winning squad.

However, with the Men in Blue preparing for their upcoming tour to Sri Lanka, the top-order batter is expected to be included in the team, since many senior members will be rested for the series. The right-hand batter is also reportedly to lead the side in the ODIs.
