Apart from owning these two properties, Akhtar currently resides on a different floor within the same cooperative housing society.

Not to be outdone, Amitabh Bachchan invested approximately ₹60cr in three office units in Andheri West on June 20. Adding to the buzz, actor Triptii Dimri—who is awaiting her next release, Bad Newz—splurged ₹14cr on a lavish property in Bandra West on June 3.

Post his collaboration with Khan, Akhtar continued scripting for landmark films such as Betaab (1983) and Lakshya (2004). His significant contributions to Indian cinema have earned him prestigious awards like the Padma Shri (1999), Padma Bhushan (2007), and the Sahitya Akademi Award (2013).
Akhtar is married to acclaimed veteran actor Shabana Azmi, and together they form one of the most influential couples in the Indian film industry.
