The couple has now added an iconic Mumbai property to their ever-expanding real estate portfolio. Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s Bhaane Group has acquired the famous music store, Rhythm House, for roughly $5.7 million (about Rs 4780 lakhs), according to the Indian Express. Bhaane, which manufactures clothes, is a division of Shahi Exports Pvt, which is owned by Anand’s father, Harish Ahuja. Shahi Exports is one of India's leading garment manufacturers, supplying products to global brands like H&M and Decathlon.
The 3,600-square-foot Rhythm House, which is spread across a ground and mezzanine floor, was closed in 2018 after Firestar Diamond International Pvt's owner, Nirav Modi, failed to repay billions in bank loans. Modi had purchased Rhythm House in 2017 from its previous owners, the Curmally family, for Rs 32 crore through his company, Firestar Diamond, with plans to convert it into a luxury jewellery showroom. However, the property faced financial troubles and eventually closed down.
Rhythm House, founded in 1948 by Suleman Nensey, is located in the Kala Ghoda neighborhood of Mumbai, which is known for its numerous heritage properties. The store specialized in selling musical instruments and imported 78 rpm records. Over the years, it adapted to changes in the music industry, providing musical enthusiasts with jukeboxes, vinyl records, and cassettes, eventually moving on to CDs and DVDs. However, as music shifted to online platforms, footfalls and sales at Rhythm House declined, leading to its closure in 2016.
The acquisition of Rhythm House by Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s Bhaane Group is a significant move in the real estate market. It not only adds to their already impressive portfolio but also preserves a cultural landmark in Mumbai. The future plans for the property are yet to be disclosed, but it is expected to be a valuable addition to the city’s heritage and business landscape.
