Hrithik Roshan and his father, Rakesh Roshan, recently sold three residential apartments for ₹6.75 crore in Mumbai's Andheri area, according to property registration documents reviewed by SquareYards. The three apartments measure close to 2,000 sq ft and have been sold in two different buildings.
In the first transaction, Rakesh Roshan sold a 1,025 sq ft apartment in a building named Veejays Niwas CHS Limited in Andheri West. The property, along with two parking spaces, was sold to Sonali Ajmera for ₹3.75 crore.

In the third transaction, Hrithik Roshan sold a 240 sq ft apartment in the same building, named Raheja Classique, in Andheri West, for ₹80 lakh to the same homebuyers as mentioned in the second transaction.
Bachchans’ Big-Ticket Property Deals
According to data accessed by SquareYards, Amitabh Bachchan and his son, Abhishek Bachchan, acquired properties worth over ₹100 crore and measuring 27,000 sq ft over 2024. In 2024, Amitabh Bachchan invested over ₹76 crore in the Mumbai real estate market, while Abhishek Bachchan invested over ₹30 crore. The father-son duo invested in the residential and commercial segments throughout the year.
In June 2024, Abhishek Bachchan was in the news for purchasing six apartments for ₹15.42 crore in the Oberoi Sky City project by Oberoi Realty in the Borivali area of Mumbai, according to property registration documents accessed by Zapkey.com. According to property registration documents accessed by Square Yards, the father-son duo was in the news in October 2024 for purchasing 10 apartments worth ₹24.95 crore in Mumbai's Mulund area. The apartments were purchased in a project named Oberoi Eternia.
This was a bulk deal, which typically comes with a discount, as it helps developers generate immediate cash flow through the sale of multiple units. By reducing the developer’s financing costs, such deals often allow for price benefits to be passed on to the bulk buyer, real estate consultants explained.
Apart from the above investments in the Mumbai real estate market, in April 2024, Amitabh Bachchan bought a 10,000 sq ft land parcel in Alibaug for ₹10 crore from The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL). In January 2024, he bought land from the same developer in Ayodhya in its project, The Sarayu, a 7-star mixed-use enclave coming up in the temple town. The land measured around 10,000 square feet and was purchased for ₹14.5 crore.
He expanded his real estate footprint in Ayodhya, home to the Ram Mandir, this year with the purchase of another land parcel recently, this time a 25,000 sq ft plot adjacent to The Sarayu, a luxury plotted development by Mumbai-based real estate firm The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) for around ₹40 crore.
Suneil Shetty and His Son Ahan Shetty Invest in Properties in Mumbai

According to the documents, the property is located in Khar West (Bandra) neighbourhood of the financial capital.

Cricketer K L Rahul and His Father-in-Law, Actor Suniel Shetty, Buy Land for ₹9.85 Crore

Are There Any Tax Benefits in Joint Property Ownership?
According to financial experts, joint property purchases among family members, whether between father and son, husband and wife, or any two individuals, can offer several advantages, particularly from a tax perspective. “There are no exclusive tax benefits for a father and son buying property together, but there are general advantages,” an expert explains. “One key benefit is that the property becomes a joint asset with shared liability, which can be strategically useful for tax planning.”
In the event of the father’s death, co-ownership also enables the son to automatically inherit the property without the need for probate or a will, making the process faster and legally simpler. Increasingly, families are opting for joint ownership to avoid future legal complications and streamline the inheritance process, the expert said.
According to Aditya Zantye, a Mumbai-based chartered accountant, “Whether it is a father-son duo or a husband and wife, any rental income generated from the property is considered joint income. This serves both a legal purpose and offers benefits from a taxation standpoint.”
