Akhtar's new property is located in the Sagar Samrat Building—a luxury residential complex in Juhu known for its beautiful beach and high-profile residents. This isn't his first purchase in this area; the portal reports that he bought an adjoining apartment measuring 113.20 square meters for a reported ₹7 crore last year. Apart from owning these two properties, Akhtar currently resides on a different floor within the same cooperative housing society.
In recent times, Mumbai's luxury real estate scene has witnessed some eye-catching deals. Aamir Khan snagged a Pali Hill apartment for ₹9.75cr on June 25. 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.
Javed Akhtar rose to prominence in the 1970s as a screenwriter, notably through his successful partnership with Salim Khan. The duo, known as Salim-Javed, penned many iconic films including Sholay (1975), Deewar (1975), and Zanjeer (1973). 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. Before marrying Azmi, Akhtar was married to Honey Irani, with whom he shares two children Farhan and Zoya. Beyond their cinematic contributions, they are also recognized for their active participation in philanthropic activities and social causes.
