International Property Expo to Open in Delhi

27 May 2026 CW Team

As international investment narratives expand from purely financial decisions to aspirations around mobility, luxury experiences, second homes and cross border lifestyles, celebrity culture appears to be intersecting more naturally with these conversations. The presence of personalities known for their global visibility, fashion influence and lifestyle appeal reflects this shift.

Speaking on the occasion, Abdul Majid Khan, Group CEO and Managing Director, NKN Media, said, “Luxury today is increasingly being viewed through the lens of experiences, access and global exposure. The presence of Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh and Arbaaz Khan brings together diverse personalities each representing modern aspirations in their own way. Their association adds a cultural layer to conversations around international living and evolving investment mindsets.”

Sharing their thoughts around the larger theme of global lifestyles and investment evolution:

Jacqueline Fernandez said, “Luxury has become deeply personal today. It is no longer only about destinations or spaces, but about experiences, identity and how people choose to live across borders.”

Nargis Fakhri added, “People are increasingly looking at international opportunities through the lens of lifestyle and long term experiences. It reflects a broader shift in how aspirations are evolving globally.”

Chitrangada Singh said, “There is an interesting overlap happening between culture, travel, design and investment choices. It is changing the way people engage with global luxury.”

Arbaaz Khan noted, “Investment conversations today are becoming more lifestyle driven. People are thinking beyond ownership and exploring experiences linked to future living.”

With four prominent entertainment personalities expected at one venue, the event is likely to attract attention not only from investment and business circles but also from lifestyle, fashion and entertainment audiences, reflecting how international living and luxury narratives are increasingly entering mainstream cultural conversations. NKN Media’s International Property Expo 2026 is expected to bring together global developers, investment advisors and stakeholders exploring international opportunities.

The capital is preparing for an unusual coming together of luxury living, lifestyle, cinema and global aspirations as the upcoming International Property Expo 2026 by NKN Media brings together four well-known names from the entertainment world, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh and Arbaaz Khan, under one roof at Taj Palace, New Delhi on July 4 and 5.
