For decades Mannat and Jalsa have been the beating hearts of Mumbai’s star map. Fans throng Bandra Bandstand for a glimpse of Shah Rukh Khan while Juhu’s Jalsa remains synonymous with Amitabh Bachchan. Both homes have carried unmatched star power and steep market value. But times have changed. The baton has quietly passed to Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Their brand-new mansion in Bandra has been valued at a staggering Rs 250 crore making it Mumbai’s most expensive celebrity-owned home today. What’s special about Ranbir and Alia’s new house? The mansion isn’t just real estate; it carries a legacy. Built on the site of Raj Kapoor’s iconic Krishna Raj bungalow the home has been under construction for years. Now complete it will be the forever residence of Ranbir Alia their daughter Raha and Neetu Kapoor. The multi-storey structure blends modern architecture with the nostalgia of one of Bollywood’s most revered families. For Ranbir this isn’t just a house; it’s a continuation of his grandfather’s memory. How does it compare to Mannat and Jalsa? Amitabh Bachchan’s Jalsa has long been a jewel in Juhu valued at around Rs 120 crore. Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat perched on Bandra Bandstand was estimated at Rs 200 crore over a decade ago. However since the property hasn’t been reassessed in recent years its present valuation remains uncertain. Even then Ranbir-Alia’s Rs 250 crore home clearly surpasses them setting a new benchmark in Bollywood’s luxury property race. Is this India’s costliest star home? Not quite. While the Kapoor-Bhatt mansion holds the Mumbai crown the title of India’s most expensive actor-owned property rests elsewhere. That record belongs to the Rs 800 crore Pataudi Palace in Haryana owned by Saif Ali Khan and his family. The palace isn’t just a home it’s an ancestral estate with centuries of history dwarfing even Mumbai’s plushest addresses in scale and value. Bollywood homes have always been more than just walls and windows. They are landmarks symbols of power and extensions of stardom. Mannat and Jalsa continue to attract fans daily but now eyes will shift toward Bandra’s newest gem the Kapoor-Bhatt residence. With its Rs 250 crore price tag it has rewritten the pecking order of celebrity real estate in Mumbai. And with Alia and Ranbir being among the most bankable stars of their generation their new home may soon earn the same iconic status as Mannat and Jalsa.
