According to a report in Bloomberg, the couple’s Bhaane Group purchased the famed music store for a staggering Rs 478.4 million (5.7 million dollars). This acquisition adds a notable and iconic property to their real estate portfolio. The 3,600 square foot Rhythm House, established in the 1940s, is nestled in Mumbai’s Kala Ghoda district.
A resolution professional appointed by the Indian bankruptcy court, overseeing the sale, confirmed to Bloomberg, “The stakeholder committee has approved the sale of Rhythm House for 478.4 million rupees.” A spokesperson for Bhaane also verified the news. Bhaane is a division of Shahi Exports Pvt, which is owned by Sonam Kapoor’s father-in-law, Harish Ahuja.
Rhythm House has a rich history, having hosted renowned and legendary musicians like Pandit Ravi Shankar, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, and various Bollywood stars. Prior to its closure, it was a beloved destination for music enthusiasts who frequented the store for vinyl records, cassettes, and later CDs and DVDs. Nirav Modi had purchased the Rhythm House in 2017 from the Curmally family for Rs 32 crore, with the intention of converting it into a luxury jewelry showroom.
In recent news, it was reported that Sonam Kapoor’s father-in-law, Harish Ahuja, invested in a property worth Rs 231.47 crore in London’s Notting Hill. Bloomberg noted that Sonam and Anand plan to convert a section of this property into their private residence after redevelopment.
Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja, who tied the knot in 2018, welcomed their son Vayu in August 2022. The couple primarily resides in London but also owns a home in Delhi. On the professional front, Sonam Kapoor was last seen in the 2023 film 'Blind,' directed by Shome Makhija, and is set to begin filming for her next project in early 2025.
