The pinnacle of success is when your signature becomes an autograph, goes a popular saying. We’d like to tweak it a bit and add – you know you’ve arrived when your address becomes a tourist attraction. We kid- you-not; these celebrity addresses in Mumbai are on almost every tourist’s itinerary. We have compiled for you 5 addresses in Mumbai which are ‘neighbor’s envy, owner’s pride’.
1. Jalsa & Pratiksha
1. Jalsa & Pratiksha
Neither of these famous bungalows need an introduction. Big B’s abode, both located in Juhu, are on every film buff’s to-visit list. Bachchan’s ardent fans throngJalsa every Sunday and wait for hours in hope of catching but one glimpse of the ‘superstar of the millennium’. Every Sunday he greets his fans from the Jalsa While the Bachchans moved to Jalsa, they are said to have a strong emotional connect with Pratiksha – the erstwhile residence where Amitabh Bachchan used to live with his parents. You can’t cross this landmark without a cab driver or autowala pointing it out and if you are lucky, he’ll give you a two minute stop-over to admire Bollywood’s most sought after address.
2. Mannat
2. Mannat
King Khan’s luxurious bungalow might be in controversy because of a certain ‘ramp’ these days but pegged at around 20,00 crore, this is another celebrity home which is nothing less than a pilgrimage spot for the film lovers. True to his ‘King of Romance’ image, SRK’s Mannat, facing band-stand is a popular destination with couples. No matter what time of day (or night), you can spot them enjoying the romantic sea-side setting and hoping to catch one glimpse of the superstar.
3. Galaxy Building
3. Galaxy Building
Once again, no introduction required – Salman Khan Fans swear by this address – so do aspiring actors and actresses who frequent this building in hopes of being spotted by the superstar who has mentored many. True to his devil-may-care image Salman Khan lives in an ordinary building made extraordinary by the very fact that the country’s heartthrob and most eligible bachelor resides here.
4. Antilia
4. Antilia
If the name doesn’t ring any bells with you, let us tell you that Mukesh Ambani’s south Mumbai residence Antilia is named after a mythical island. Valued somewhere between, hold your breath, USD 1 and 2 billion, it has been rated the most expensive house in the world. Antilia is a 27-storey skyscraper which is maintained by a staff of 600 and comes with 3 private helipads. Once again, you can’t cross this landmark without someone pointing it out to you.
5. Dorab Villa
He is demi-god of cricket and this is Mecca for all Indian cricket lovers. Just like Sachin Tendulkar’s phenomenal batting records, this ‘shell’ concept house, located near plush carter road will take your breath away. The cricketing legend once said that his dream home houses ‘each and every bat, I have scored a hundred with’. While the house is valued at about 80 crores, even a peek at it is priceless for master blaster’s fans as is evident from the fact that way back in 2011, when Sachin addressed his first press conference outside this new villa, a commotion ended up in few of his fans sustaining injuries.
