High-net-worth individuals still consistently choose real estate as their investment of choice. Celebrities in Bollywood are acquiring homes on a regular basis, not just for their own use but also as profitable investments. Aishwarya Rai, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Shilpa Shetty are among the Bollywood actors, producers, and directors who have made real estate investments.

John Abraham, a Bollywood actor, director, and businessman, has paid more than Rs 0.7 billion for a home situated on a posh Linking Road in Mumbai's Khar neighbourhood. The bungalow spans over one-fifth of an acre.
